  Too easy to say, too many communities that are simply not here.

      Sometimes people just wanna make a post and help people with a niche problem, not sign up to run a whole ass sub tho.

    Ah yes, like food, water, and air—impossible to live without!

    Word to the wise: leaving makes space for alternatives that clinging to hinders.

      If everyone was idealistic about every aspect of life, we’d all commit suicide very rapidly.

      You might think this is super important, but to someone else, the reach of mainstream social media might be worth it for they care about an issue they feel is more important than yours that needs attention, or just straight up focus on other things.

      You a vegan? You have solar panels? You buy clothes that you are absolutely 100% sure comes from fairly paid people the whole way down the line? You buy a fairphone? You using a linux pinephone? You… Its never ending.

      Purity dramatics like that of your comment arent actually helpful and just demoralize people who are likely there with you 99% of the way generally.

        Thanks for your reply. I feel you mischaracterized my response, likely because you didn’t understand it, in which case, likely because I did not express it well.

        I don’t care whether op leaves Reddit, it’s not an important issue to me, and it has absolutely nothing to do with purity. I was responding to the idea that it’s hard to leave reddit, which may feel true for op, but, just as you suggested, if everyone took that attitude with everything, positive change would be stymied, and your suggested resort to suicide would make a lot more sense. Making space (e.g., by leaving an abusive relationship of one kind or another) can seem hard or scary, but I stand by it as a means to enable better things to come. What op wants to do with that is up to them.

        I hope that’s more clear.

    That’s cool sure.

    But on the other side: Reddit betrayed the social contract and deserves to rot in consequence.

    One droplet of lost engagement becomes an ocean; just stop showing up 🤷‍♀️
