Just deleted my Reddit account (again)

I've had it with reading all the despairing stories about people enduring loneliness, introversion, and unsuccessful dating experiences. It's disheartening to the point where I hesitated to text a friend for two months. When I finally did, he expressed concern, said he was giving me space, and reassured me that he still cares. He even suggested meeting up.

Members of my church, including the pastor, reached out with caring messages. A couple I thought had ignored me invited me out to eat, explaining they had been hosting guests and were simply busy.

As for the turmoil it's caused in my faith and trust in women, that's an entirely different story.

An additional frustration is that whenever I click a Reddit link, my Google account prompts me to log in, which inadvertently leads to the creation of another account. It seems there's no way to prevent this.

Deleting the account is an excellent step, and one that many just cant seem to manage.

But if you delete it and just keep going back anyway, it does kinda defeat the purpose. Even if you're only clicking on links instead of typing out that address yourself or directly interacting once there. It also creates a constant temptation, and that sure aint gonna help.

Tell the site as a whole to take a long walk off a short pier. No need for its constant negativity and whatnot.

I agree with you on the nature of the site, too. Honestly it goes way beyond unhappy and lonely people... that's bad enough, but Reddit seems to attract every sort of bad behavior and attitude to it all at once (as well as attracting swarms of trolls). It ends up meaning that even when people seem to be giving genuine advice and all that on a subject, it may not actually be genuine advice. The site is too corrupted to trust anything completely.
 
Finding reliable tech support can be challenging. Often, I encounter issues and the major sites like CNET offer only clickbait solutions that fail to resolve the problem. Consequently, I turn to platforms like Reddit for solutions or seek out genuinely free software, as opposed to those that claim to be free but are actually based on subscriptions.

Oh yeah, tech support is... irritating.

How about Youtube? There's a LOT of tech help things on there which often have demonstrations of how to use the thing (and so you can see it actually functioning). It's generally where I go for that kind of thing.

Granted it can take a bit of searching, and Youtube's bloody search function needs a bit of an interface overhaul, but it's worth it for good, reliable solutions.
