Left it all in 2014. Only had a reddit account up until a year ago (give or take), for mostly hobby-related stuff. Almost never went into the political subs. Cited reason for closing it, since they ask, was something along the lines of "this place has way too much Chinese money in it now. Fuck you". Haven't looked back at all.
It was quite liberating back then. Had a few friends contact me here and there as time went on, asking why I'd defriended them. I'd explain that I'd basically "defriended everyone", that it wasn't a social statement. People couldn't believe it even back then. "Everyone has social media". Not I. I remember scrolling endlessly through just stupid tripe every day. Glad that's not a daily occurrence in life anymore. Stick to the communities that you want to, not the ones you feel pressured to.
