I've used Reddit for 17 years and was on Twitter for 15 years and it's surprising how quickly they both imploded relative to their lifetimes, but also how little it bothers me to suddenly stop using either of them.

That's probably a good indication that I was consuming too much wasteful content on them every day and this is for the better.

Though I'm really sad to see @christianselig have his hard work shut down with no recourse, especially seeing how much he enjoyed working on Apollo over the years.

Lobsters didn't end up growing into what I hoped, but I think it had some good ideas and I am proud of what I (initially) built, especially with the invite tree

But I don't know how it became this laughing stock that everyone likes to dunk on, which makes me sad

Anyway, it came up on the latest Oxide & Friends in the context of Blue Sky using a similar invitation system for moderation during their private beta
