I quit reddit when they started charging for API. I started engaging with my local library. I’m 35 years old and started reading my local newspaper for the first time ever in my life.

I came back to Reddit only to discover lemmy and now I read both my local news and lemmy.

It’s been nice. Calmer, less stressful. It feels good again and I realize now that I’ve been very unhappy with reddit for many years now.
