I have deleted every single social media account I had with the sole exception of Reddit (and Beehaw of course) in the past few years as part of my deciding-to-be-better clean-up act.

Even after blocking and removing a metric fuck ton of toxic subs I always still feel worse than when I start casually browsing it. Something about confidently incorrect people, trolls, assholes, bots and AI slop get under my skin no matter how much I try to ignore them.

So I'm going to reduce my Reddit activity even further.

The world is probably always on fire right now and life is always hard. But I empathize with all of you that haven't had things go your way this week, and I celebrate all your little small wins and victories.
