    I’m modding nearly 50 subs right now, down from about 80 as I slowly unwind my presence there. The site isn’t the same since so many subs are private still or restricted.

      Damn! How many hours did you volunteer per week when you moderated 80?

        Well not as many as you might think. I always recruited a lot of other mods to share the load because burn out is a huge problem. I’m still modding r/news but I’m winding down my Reddit presence. I also used a ton of automated tools like browser extensions and bots that I wrote myself to make the work easier.

          Yeah, I just deleted my last accounts over there today. They’ve been wiped for a while now and kept checking to make sure restored subreddits content were removed. Decided today that I didn’t care anymore and deleted.

          Apparently I had a few thousand in Reddit gold there. Guess that doesn’t matter now either.

          Now I have 5 fediverse accounts. 2 serving as backups.

          I occasionally view Reddit using content blockers and annoyance removers so I don’t see all the popup stuff to sign in with Google, or to use the app, etc. I’m now useless traffic on their site that can’t be monetized.

            I’m not going to use their app for any reason. I use Narwhal and I used to really like it.
