I never really cared about upvotes and downvotes, but I liked that my comments and participation meant something to someone at one time or another. I liked that when I posted a comment or asked a question people could look through my post history to learn more about me and answer accordingly. More than anything I miss my saved posts and comments and enjoyed going back to read through what was important or funny to me at a particular moment in time. I don’t have close friends or any family that lives within 1,000 miles so the connections I made through Reddit meant something.

I’m grieving.

    I was on for 12 years, it became a bit of an addiction, too be sure. Lots of smiles, so much to learn. Some trolly experiences I could have done without. When the IPO thing came about, and the API change pushing out 3rd party apps, that got all too annoying fast. And I’ve long been an advocate of open source software, etc., to it’s better in the Fediverse. Yay!

    And I’m with ya, grief is a big part of the experience at the moment. Hang in there, it gets better.
