I've wanted to leave since the old shitredditsays days, but back then there weren't any good alternatives (especially after Tumblr was acquired by Yahoo) so I stayed out of a lack of alternatives.
The blackout is just the brd finally coming to free us from the hellsite. I will never return.
I forgot all about SRS, back in the day one of the first times a Reddit comment I wrote got a bunch of upvotes some SRS folks came after me and it was super confusing. I got really bizarre messages from angry people who seemed completely unhinged.
When all you have is a hammer, all your problems look like nails. There were sometimes... excesses.
