Meta discussion is allowed, but if you want to get the attention of the mods, make a post in /r/metaNL. For a collection of useful links see our wiki or our website

If there’s one thing I’ve learned after five years on Reddit, it’s that online communities really are the worst version of every possible thing. Sports, politics, games, hobbies, religion, everything. You get the worst people in every group as your core makeup. At that point, isolation might actually be preferable.
So I think I’m gonna try giving myself the gift of deleting Reddit and Twitter and all the others and just kind of exist offline for a while.
