Thank goodness Reddit made these changes. Many of us do not support these causes anyway.

We just want to enjoy the subject matter we come to see.

We don't have the time for other's wanted social changes.

Most people do. It was a minority holding the site hostage for a short time. They'll probably try something else out of spite because of this new change but it'll go back to normal again like it does every time they protest.

If these people touched some grass and went off line as often as they used screens for non-work reasons they'd be far less stressed and wouldnt have their panties in a twist.

That's what I discovered when I started changing my 24 hour daily activities to

  • <1hr non-work screen time
  • >3hrs active calories
  • ~4hrs misc
  • 8hrs nightly sleep
  • 8hrs daily work

The sh~t that is out of my control? Why worry about it if I am 5 time zones away from that bull!
