#2For me it was their decision to make my posts helping people in r/python into training material for a profit-driven AI model. Sad to go, but feels so much better now it’s not there abusing me any more.

Yeah, I have mostly left reddit as well. However, there is a huge need for various niche forums. Reddit killed a great many forums. Now we need them back.

#5Good luck. I have tried multiple times. The network effects are too strong.
I contribute far less, but I still browse.

“Soon”, “mostly”, “might”. The post is so full of hedges that it could fit the entire Simpsons cast walking backwards into it. You need to be honest that you’re not truly doing anything. Certainly not anything which makes a difference or affects Reddit. This post is the internet equivalent of shaking your fist in the air while grumbling “why, you rascals” while standing thirty meters away.
Just leave Reddit. Do it now. Do it for yourself. Delete the posts, then delete the account, the go do something else better for your mental health.

While I am sure many people are leaving reddit silently I appreciate that some people are also leaving reddit and making some noise about it. This helps spread awareness of some of the issues with reddit and highlight the need for alternatives.

Which is all well and good if the person making the noise follows through, which this post inspires no confidence will happen. They have a (relatively) low-volume account which they are not deleting and leaving the posts up. That’s insignificant.
In other words, the author isn’t leaving Reddit. They are talking about possibly-maybe-who-knows leaving Reddit. They’re flirting with the thought while making sure they have a wide open door to go back later even if they do leave. Every single person who has quit silently has made a bigger impact.
By all means, make some noise about leaving Reddit. But do it after you’ve really committed to it and can influence others. Shower thoughts don’t spread awareness.

I have no reason to doubt they are following through with it. If they do: great! If they do not: who cares? They spread awareness of important issues with reddit. I can still appreciate this.
Why is it important to you if they follow through or not?
