You touched on what is the biggest thing for me. I've been on Reddit for about the same amount of time. That said, I'm a habitual lurker, so much of the participation and community interaction comments don't hit as close to home for me, but I've been off Reddit since the protest started and I just feel out of the loop. Most of what I was reading every day was trivial nonsense but it was trivial nonsense that I at least felt somewhat informed about, now between getting off Reddit and Twitter I just feel like I'm living under a rock.
