MODERATORS
When Reddit decided to backstab its app developers / community, I just full-on deleted my account. Makes it a lot easier to not go back when you actually remove the thing you'd go back to.
Think of it like recovering from alcoholism: are you more prone to relapse if you keep a bottle of some familiar brand of booze in your fridge? Or if you actually get it out of your house?
Sure you could go back to the store and buy another bottle (make a new account), but that hassle will help reinforce your decision not to. Keeping it in arm's reach - different story.
Delete your account. Delete your reddit browser extentions, saved passwords, bookmarks, mobile apps... scrub that shit from your devices. You'll find yourself much less tempted to relapse, and it's liberating as fuck.
I miss a few features from Reddit; but I'm not making a new account and setting RES and such back up again to get them. Fuck that noise.
