Arguing with people over dumb things, navigating seemingly endless or sporadic moderation.
It's just a coincidence, but I was actually rambling to my girlfriend and her mother about reddit and the stupid engagements that I get involved in. They mentioned that it has seemed to take me away from a lot of my hobbies and things that I've wanted to do... I hadn't really realized that. And although it seems I've simply replaced reddit with voat, the conversations I've had here are more sparse (less users and content) and more stimulating. It's not as much of a sinkhole (for both my time and my brain) as reddit was.

Absolutely, i realised if I added a large part of my reddit time, like 80% it was me just reading threads I didn't care or arguing with people. I could have invested that into something useful and have been a lot of a better person than I was. It also gave me an excuse to be lazy and think to myself "eh, everyone on reddit is like this, so I don't need to change". I'm slowly undoing everything
