Like the subreddits on indefinite blackout, I have no intention of going back until Reddit deals more equitably with mods and third-party app devs, which means I might never go back. That's sad but okay.
My relationship with it has irrevocably changed. It was foolish of me to let myself become dependent on any community administered by capitalists, because their goals and values are going to inherently be different than mine. Once their focus shifts from "make this community popular" to "make this community profitable," our goals are never going to realign, so it's better to start over in a place where simply building community is the goal.
