      I need to do that at some point. Just having trouble letting go. I wonder if there’s a way to back up comments.

        I didn’t save any comments lol just deleted the account. It was hard to let go, but I just had enough of the bad news, sexism, and racism; no comment I made ever changed anyone’s mind about their biases. Plus, it means my ex can’t see what I’m up to anymore lol, I have the screenshots of the message they sent me a year or two back, so I can throw that in their face again if I need to, but it is very freeing.

          There’s so much history for me. But yeah it’s not good to have too much personal info out there with creepy crawly people.

          I’ll add checking re backups to the pile of tech/account related admin I need to do 😞

            It’s just disgusting. If it isn’t incel r–ards pining for a mummy bang maid therapist, it’s endless racism and sexism. It’s literally the cesspool of the internet at this point (not counting 4chan).

            Edit: oh and stupid AI posts and pictures 🤮

                It is a cesspool. The incels, the women who hate all men, tradmen and tradwomen, the AI bots and posts, the endless fucking arguments about whether genocide in Gaza is justified, the endless shit about Trump, the Russian bots, whether queer people are actual people.

                Even the animal subreddits are rife with animal abuse - people not doing their research before getting a pet, the endless questions about whether to take their obviously sick/injured pet to the vet, the shitty excuses they have for keeping arthropods in shitty enclosures.

                And the subreddits that are just “watch people die” rebranded.

                Give me one good post on that site, and I’ll show you 1000 more that are just fucking awful.

                  I should delete my account too. I tend to search things online and end up on there, and then go down a rabbithole.

                  I actually met someone off there who turned out to be a wanker wanting a mummy bang maid therapist. Bro strung me along and ruined me for a good half a year

                  it’s a bad reflection of society

                  choose where you go wisely, choose your friends wisely

                  I’m mostly on tv and movie subs

                  I remember being somewhat addicted to “rage” when I was on there all the time.

                  Like I was subconsciously seeking out posts that had large scale arguments.

                  Glad I got away.
