I fully understand the difficulty to change habit- I recently quit a game I’d been playing almost daily for a majority of 25+ years, and still feel the desire to log in even though I know I don’t like being there any more.

showing me how much the toxicity of the rest of the site had infiltrated r/Blind

Everyone is (rightfully) upset about what’s going on there, but all the posts that are basically an echo chamber for being upset about the lack of change got old really fast. Same with the automod post (which I complained about), a constant reminder nothing is changing and moreso a hurdle to make interacting there a more annoying process. As someone that’s been immersed in useless “gamer rage” with no follow-through whatsoever, it’s sad to see the same thing happening again.

And for all that’s been done to set up this community, the “meat” of the sub, non-community members’ questions, is still found there. Between that and the growing pains of this site and general fedi integration (I would be here more if I could get it to work properly with/from my Mastodon account), I don’t feel like either side is really a great fit for what I was getting out of the experience in the past.
