should we be discussing reddit less?
Seems like a good portion of the activity in the communities is reddit oriented. If the goal is leaving/hurting reddit, it seems we should be continuing on like it doesn't exist, instead of continuing to drive interest to the site. Thoughts?

Talking about Reddit is like thinking about your ex right after the break up. It sucks and oddly satisfying at the same time, and it will pass 😅
Similarly, I almost liken it to getting out of an abusive relationship. Not exactly of course because it's just a website, but similar.
I joined Reddit in the middle of an abusive relationship. I don't even need "almost" as a qualifier.
"Look at all these nice things I'll give you for the low, low price of making you feel like you can't function without me through a series of increasingly hostile and degrading actions while making you believe that this is the best you'll ever find."
A domineering ex who kept moving the goalposts while gaslighting you.
But the sex was usually fantastic, and it kept you hooked.
Honestly, I can't relate and don't understand what is ofdly satisfying about that.
