I still use Reddit daily for browsing non-PH news and happenings, but I completely stopped posting. Every once in a while I’ll try to comment something but delete it immediately after. I realized that replying and posting ate up a huge chunk of my time and often derail my momentum when working, so I don’t really miss it. But at the same time, posting my thoughts is an outlet and it’s also nice to revisit to see where my headspace was at a particular point. As an alternative, I just post it on my FB feed and set it to “Only Me”.
It doesn’t help that r/PH is a shit-show echo chamber now, mostly because of the users. Nakaka-turnoff yung mga matapobre, antinatalists, eugenicists, and low-effort threads. I haven’t been there for a week pero pustahan mga posts diyan tungkol na naman sa pinipilit sila magperform sa Christmas Party tapos pag malapit na bagong taon sasabihin nila ang lakas lakas magpatunog ng tambutso hulugan naman daw yung motor. They’re seriously just as bad as the bastards on FB’s comment sections.
That said, I’m happy it all played out the way it did. I was able to get UndustFixation started, able to finish some of my PS5 backlogs, go out of the country for the first time since 2012, and I’m bonding with my daughter now through our shared interest in blind boxes (she got me into it actually lol).
