One of the biggest things holding me back from leaving Reddit, despite the fact I hate the way they are handling, well, everything, is the sense of community with people sharing similar experiences as me, as well as sharing my hobbies. It's nice to be able to look at things other people made in a hobby you're interested in, but even moreso it's nice to be able to relate your struggles with others sharing your struggles. To leave reddit would mean leaving behind r/ADHD and r/ADHDmemes which allow us to vent and make light of our daily struggles. It's nice that there is another community here I can turn to instead. I hope this platform continues to grow and improve, so I don't ever have to look back on the pile rubble that reddit is quickly becoming.

MODERATORS
No, I don't think this one is run by the same people from Reddit. Just the same idea. But to be fair, all you need for the community is a group of people with similar experiences/struggles and a place to discuss it. There wasn't anything special about the mods on reddit
