I guess it comes down to why you personally left reddit in the first place. I don't think anyone here would argue the content is more plentiful. If you left because you didn't like reddit's business practice and wanted to boycott them for essentially banning 3rd party apps, then limiting your use to "sticky necessary" is fine imo. I still go back for some small communities that don't have a presence elsewhere, but I don't browse /r/all or even my frontpage like I used to.

That's just a good general tip for the internet: avoid politics and religion.

And something people have forgotten since the old days of forums: don't feed the trolls.
