I totally get where you're coming from and have a Trek-related analogy: the trope about planets with friendly, generous people ... who happen to be killing children or obeying an evil computer as the price of their utopian society. Not paying attention to the inner workings of a site because they don't currently negatively affect you doesn't change that Reddit and its mods have always had the ability to pull the shenanigans we're going through.
Having been through an abusive marriage, red flags hit a bit different (and are more numerous). I can prefer things went differently, but my opinion has no impact on the facts in play, and I'm sure as hell not willing to forgive without so much as the perfunctory "it'll never happen again" ... they're literally saying "it will happen again."
So I've chosen to cut my losses now. It's irritating that I'm having to navigate new waters because of the decisions of others, but it also brings into specific relief how much power those others had over my media consumption and mental state.
I'm certainly not trying to tell anyone a different reaction is inappropriate, just provide context they may not be thinking about. I'd probably be in the stubborn and indignant camp were I still in my 20s, after all.
