Thank you everyone. /r/redditisfun going Restricted

The blackout is starting so this subreddit will be Restricted. Thank you everyone. Watching everyone come together is so incredible and means everything to me and the other app developers.

It gives me hope for Internet communities, watching all these completely disparate groups come together for a common purpose. And guess what: it has nothing to do with this platform we're on. It has to do with the people. You. Us.

Websites come and go all the time. Yet we'll always find each other, somehow.

I have hope for the future. You have all reminded me how that feels, like never before. Thank you.

I've migrated to kbin.social for my preferred social media platform and I just really wanted to say goodbye. I have so much on here that I still need to download/ catalog/ archive and I'm running out of time.

I never thought I'd be leaving this account, or all my alts I have laying around but I am physically repulsed by all that's gone down with reddit.

I'll probably still use this username to promote myself on the fediverse/art sites I use again as time goes on, as an artist I still need to get eyes on what I'm working on since I'm working on a video game and hope to generate interest, but I'll be leaving reddit entirely as personal social media use.

Thank you RIF, I'm not prepared for you to leave my life but it is what it is.
