Last year I closed my Facebook, and various other social accounts. This year I&#x27;ve stopped using Reddit. They really are just toxic, and incredibly wasteful. I agree, this Internet can be so much more than stupid memes and bullying. Even the concept of the &quot;downvote&quot;, should never have existed. Certainly it was started with good intentions to weed out trash articles, but it&#x27;s never been used properly outside of making someones voice disappear. I don&#x27;t know what&#x27;s next, but it&#x27;s certainly not going to be another social network.
