A friend of mine for around 4-5 years at this point has randomly started ghosting me completely over the past month or so... I know they've seen my messages and I know that they're also autistic so they'd know I probably wouldn't get it and I saw no signs of the friendship having any problems and yet they've just suddenly stopped and I have no idea what I did wrong...
Why is being a functioning social creature so damn hard?

I'd been using Reddit for 6 years; thousands of hours. All gone, in a quick(ish) running of a script. And once it's gone, it's gone. Link rot is gonna be so much bigger soon. And everything that represents a mark on the platform from me will be gone.
I remember spending time on basically every interest I've had on there. I remember the memes, the political discussions, the anticipations of football transfers, the stunning source-gathering work on the Ukraine war, the shitposts, the communities willing to help me on the most stupid of questions. The hours spent defending random pixels on a canvas modified by other communities with friends, the awestruck silence of the Snap both in movie form and Reddit form. The support for me as a person when I needed it the most and real life couldn't, wouldn't, didn't give to me.
And in a few minutes, that'll all be gone. It's already going away as I type this. Almost feels like a microcosm of my own mortality. Maybe I'm being overly sentimental, but it hurts. Anyone else feel the same?
Why YSK: You might be used to Reddit where you can't edit titles. This is important both for the errant poster, but also for the person coming from ages in the future who might stumble upon it.
