    If you’ve replaced the functionality of reddit in your life, and reddit itself is heading in a direction you don’t approve of, why continue discussing it?

        Because why discuss something that’s not in your life anymore, why make/join a community dedicated to something you’re NOT doing anymore?

          are you saying you never bitch about things in the past, like shitty jobs or school or something. And besides, back on reddit (new here so idk what kind have formed yet) there were plenty, like exmormom, stopdrinking, etc

            Bitch about things, sure, but I’m not gonna join c/KFC and participate in daily circlejerking about how much working at KFC sucked

            there were plenty, like exmormom, stopdrinking, etc

            Okay but you see how those are different, right? Comparing using reddit to a high-control religion or alcoholism isn’t a bit much?
