    What a bummer.

    I’m doing ok without it though. I didn’t load old.reddit once today.

    I probably won’t tomorrow.

    I used to look at Reddit in almost all of my downtime at work. Now I’m trying to write when I see nothing new is coming up on Lemmy.

    Still though. 15 years on Reddit. Goddamn. It definitely bums me out. I mean, it’s just a website, but it has helped shape so much of who I am.

    I’m an atheist in the Bible Belt for example, and atheism being a default sub back in the day really helped me out a lot.

    All things must pass.

      I understand your pain with that last point. Being an atheist teen in a family that highly values religious holidays (and more) is a life experience I hope people don’t have to go through.

      Things got better, as I hope things are well for you.

      I’m waiting for my data takeout, so checking old.reddit.com messages once a day. No other engagement beyond that. Lemmy communities are getting really good now.

      It does suck. I even met my husband on Reddit! It’s been such a meaningful part of my life.
