Tbf, this is specifically the yoyo subreddit. I mean, lots of others two, but I was specifically referencing the thrower sub

This week I managed a Berserk and JoJo reference in memes. It’s been a good week.

I’ve never been able to get behind Anime… one moment, the story is great! It’s compelling and the characters are well written, and then BLAM! Everybody’s naked… like what??

Nah that whole place is just… not great.
I was a Reddit evangelical, told everyone how great it was, as the years went by I started to realize how it was bringing me down and taking over my free time, and filling my head with garbage.
Then I read the stupidest take I ever saw and literally said “what the hell am I doing here?” Closed and uninstalled all the Reddit apps I had, and never went back.
Best choice since quitting smoking.

Watch any movie by Studio Ghibli (Except Earthsea. It just stinks) Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind is particularly excellent. No fan-service in any of their stuff.
Although…skip Pom Poko if you don’t want to see comical use of magical raccoon nutsacks.
Other great shows:
Violet Evergarden
Kotoro Lives Alone
Yuri on Ice
Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End
Erased
Trigun (original or new)
Just about anything Gundam (if you like giant robots)

Perhaps, one day, I’ll see the light, however, I used to (pre-API-issue)/still do use it as a way to discuss hobbies or learn how to do things. Not going to lie, its pretty easy to forget that it’s an echo chamber, but if you use it right and keep the right mindset, it can be a pretty useful tool.
All said, I praise your ability to leave Reddit. I almost did it after the blackout’s failed, however, I (not me, personally, but my wife) was going through a tough time, with a lot of downtime without access to anything or a place to throw and eventually, I just didn’t have anything to do. So, old habits sunk back in. In fairness, I did try some alternatives during that blackout/post-blackout, but they were either worse (Twitter/Instagram) or didn’t quite hit right (Squabblr), or just plain didn’t work for what I was looking for (Tumblr on iOS)
I am, however, curious to know what the take was that broke the camels back. Feel free to DM me if it’s… Unsavory for the general YYE population

It’s been years, I don’t remember what exactly it was, but it must have been brain-numbing lol.
Likely something to do with current events of the time or something.
I came to love forums again because of it tho, like the OPForums for synth stuff, TJ forums for my jeep, watch crunch for watches, and here for yo-yos and remembering there are still really cool people all around us.
