I actually left Reddit in early 2022, I'm not from the latest migration wave. I left for a combination of these reasons, the first of which is the main one:

algorithmic feed designed to arise strong emotions, often negative
snark and noise in the comments
ads
impenetrable moderation rules that often make it difficult to figure why a post is rejected, even after carefully reading all the sub's guidelines and FAQs cover to cover, as well as reviewing past threads
