I'm an Apollo user, but still. It's a sad night. Why am I so sad?

Maybe it's because I'm so lonely, and Reddit provided a bright little spark to fill the darkness. And it did that for like 16 years for me. And now it's gone.

RIP.

I feel you on that

It reminds me of the feeling of being pushed out of a community, it's not just like that but it reminds of that

We were strangers in the night drifting aimlessly, but drifting together.

Our line was threatened to be cut

We pleaded and screamed, only for our cries to fall on deaf ears

We've been left to the wayside, unable to drift with the currents we're used to

After some time we've found ourselves here

A new and unfamiliar place, with all new currents

It feels like our old currents, at times, but it decidedly different

Things flow slower here, the faces are all new.

We can make this our new current if we try.
