In all candor I appreciate you saying this.
I had wandered over to Reddit the past few years and have enjoyed it, but recently I have been pondering my various behaviors and have decided I spend way too much time there, so I quit cold turkey at the end of June.
There are a number of social media platforms that I refuse to follow for a variety of reasons; Facebook, X (was Twitter), etc. Reddit has now joined them.
The thing about the SDMB is that there is a level of civility that I appreciate, and a general lack of anonymity (we may not know each other’s real names but it’s about as close as we can get on the internet) that I approve of.
However I have a tendency to hit & run; drop some comments and leave for a couple weeks, and the conversations that occur here deserve more attention than that. We’ll see what the future brings.
