    I was about to make a post like this. Trying to explain this whole situation to someone this morning, and found myself feeling way more feelings than I expected to feel over losing an app.

    But it’s more than an app. For the last 7 years, it’s where my nerds hang out. It’s where I could get actual humans responding to weird questions.

    It’s also the place where I often got shouted down and told in many ways that I’m stupid.

    I expected these two things to balance each other out, but no. I’m sad to lose Reddit, upset that the reason is greed, and a little apprehensive about relying on Kbin for all my forum contend from now on. It’s been great here so far, but I’m only just getting started.
