  Honestly it’s two niche debate subs that kept me engaging that there’s no substitute for. I think with the reply button blocked I’ll be able to delete my account again soon. Yep I’ve relasped before.

  …and I mainly used those subs to deprogram from my upbringing. That’s the real truth, I found it healing.

    Fam if you need to use reddit don’t feel bad about it. “The trick is not to ignore the mainstream, but to selectively raid it for things we can use.” -M. Gunderloy

      I hear you but again I’ve left out an important detail. Those debate boards have moderators who are mostly checked out since the API drama, so the influx of morons using ChatGPT to “think” for them without getting banned has become intolerable and incredibly depressing when considering the long term implications of that among youth.

      The positive feelings are an afterglow.
