Fortunately, it is a compulsion that can be treated fairly easily with just a bit of training. If it starts to overwhelm you, consider speaking to someone.

While I still enjoy certain aspects of Reddit, I find Tildes to be a bit more intimate, and the conversations more reflective and insightful. Not so much clamouring for attention.
As for me, I am a queer anarchist Hare Krishna devotee living near Gainesville, Fl. Quiet life. For anyone familiar with the novel or film versions of "The Yearling", I live less than a mile from the author's old home.
My username is a shortened form of the name I use most frequently, Jahnudvipa das, which was given me by my guru, HH Bhaktimarg Swami upon my initiation.
I can't think of anything to add, as I am enjoying everything presented. As a fairly computer illiterate person, I find the technological discussions here are done so clearly that I am beginning to understand them. And I can ask questions without feeling like an idiot, which is nice. Good place, good people.

My main issue is that, as a long time vegetarian, I have learned that I really can't digest meat at this point (accidentally had a piece of quiche last spring that had meat in it, was sick for days). So, yes, for survival. But that places it on an even field with the rest. Whatever was closest in reach.

I just like the fact that it is uncluttered, seems not as susceptible to spam. Because I limit what I use it for, and limit who has access to it, it simplifies things.

As a child. It just didn't make sense. My romantic thoughts were about men, mostly. As a got older, I got a better understanding of the complexities of the situation. Now, at 57, I consider myself queer, in that my reactions and feelings are much more based on the individual, and not so much the external definitions.
Are you out or still in the closet?
Out since about 13.
How's the social situation where you live? (Are you accepted?)
That's an odd one. I lives most of my life in Miami, and it was an on again/off again issue. I am now living in a semi-rural area near Gainesville, Fl., and no one really seems to give a damn. In addition, I am very much involved in the local Hindu community, and again there the issue is 90% a non-issue.
In a relationship? If so, how did you meet?
Not a romantic relationship, but a very close friendship with my housemate. Oddly enough, we met when I was living as a monk in a Hare Krishna temple. He was visiting from another temple, and i was selling pizza in the lobby.

It is difficult to judge without any idea of what you were posting to cause such a reaction. But any sub-Reddit is a private entity, as is Reddit as a whole. So it is their option. You have no inherent right to be there.
