If I’m not mistaken, Kutcher’s letter actually referenced the verdict.

TNG is a good entry point, but the first two seasons can be rough. Feel free to skip them if they’re on the verge of turning you off the series entirely.

I’m still around too, though, for me, it was less about “sticking it” to Reddit and more about Reddit not feeling fun anymore. I’ve noticed the same thing as OP and was hoping to find some insight from longer-term Lemmy users about whether this is a result of the influx of new users being more negative, or just a return to form for Lemmy. From other comments around here it sounds like it may be the latter, alas.
