I still pop by a few times a week just to lurk/look in and what I see with these latest influxes of Redditors is scary. Voat seems to have changed dramatically in the last few months. I tried my best to stay out of the politics there, too ... but I used to just ignore the serious BS, now it seems unavoidable there, it's a constant drumbeat. I post on Phuks and Poal now ... both slower, but saner.
I hear you. After so many social sites rising and crashing I'm getting to my saturation point. I have been spending more and more time away, and more and more time focusing on other things in life.
Real life has it's advantages. Me, I'm retired so I have too much time on my hands, but would've never spent the kinda time I do on these things when I was younger.
I'm in a transitioning period right now, getting ready to move and not spending money so this is a relatively cheap hobby at the moment. I've been trying to hustle on everything from sales to side work and nothing has been coming in so I'm trying to keep things as frugal as possible.
