The blackout helped me to leave.

It's difficult to rewire a dopamine pathway you've been traveling for 14 years.

Knowing that other people care enough to abstain for two days is useful in that process.

I never expected Reddit to change their policy. I have been surprised at how petulant, dishonest and unprofessional they've been. I would have expected a bland corporate response.

Anyway, onward and upward.
