So I’m pretty sure most of you guys also came from reddit. Or at least, a majority of you did. So I think you all understand how addictive it can be. I’m not going to lie, in the past few years I really liked to go up every now and then to troll stupid and harmful people. But lately, I realised it’s all a waste of time because it’s not like I can actually hurt them - I mean I did manage to hurt them but only because they were dumb enough, but it’s not like I can actually “”act upon my judgement”” or any other cringe thing an edgelord can think about. But yeah, I’ve grown tired of negativity, and I want to be a… wholesome person, I think. But sometimes when relaxing, I get the urge to hop back on Reddit to troll some people just because, which I don’t want. I mean don’t misunderstand me, I didn’t entirely gave up on Reddit bc I still have an account there and I do go up if I want to see gaming shit or anything related to my niche interest, I’m just avoiding some specific subreddits. So what should I do? Does anyone else have similar feelings as I do?

    Step #1: Log out. Log out on your phone, desktop, or wherever you access reddit from.

    Step #2: Delete whatever apps you used.

    The way to get off of reddit is to get off of reddit. I found that as long as I was logged in, I couldn’t help but contribute - so I logged out and stopped.

    Six months later I went back, vandalized my posts and comments, and then deleted my accounts.

    I’m gone. I’m done. The divorce is final.
