I see a lot of posts about how they uploaded anti-spez stuff onto reddit, or participated in the nsfw spams/john oliver spams. While I get wanting to let it all out, this ultimately keeps up engagement on reddit rather than bringing it down.

The best way to make sure things go your way? Vote with your wallet, or in this case your voice. Don’t speak on reddit. Devote more time helping out the alternatives grow and flourish. And as much as it is a meme, touching some grass can help your mental fortitude.

If you absolutely 100% need to interact with reddit, I suggest installing a redirector addon (such as privacy redirect or… redirector) that can link to a teddit or libreddit instance. Or archiving it with wayback/archive.is/ghostarchive.

    I shuttered the two subs I was in charge of (moderate size so they’ve flown under the radar thus far) and simply haven’t been back.

      Unfortunately, they’ll probably get reopened. But you’ll just have to let them move on without you. Either it’ll burn in a fire, or the new mods will carry it in a new direction. Either way, it’s no longer your project/baby.
