I did stay away for about three years (my old Reddit account is like 14 years old at this point). I don't remember what specifically got me to look at their board game subreddit, but I started looking at it without being a member for a while, and eventually I wanted to comment on them enough that I said 'Screw it, I'll join, stick to this one subreddit, and not do the thing that got me shadowbanned.' I did stick with just that subreddit for quite some time. It was the Covid-19 pandemic that led to me branching out to other subreddits (I wanted to check r/coronavirus specifically) more and discovering my old account was back. One thing I never did go back to, though, was r/indiegames and r/gaming, the two I most likely got banned from. Also I don't really bother with r/boardgames anymore and check other subreddits more now. There are Facebook groups that work better for that, as I can see notifications from friends that are in the industry and make sure I keep up with their posts and comments. Reddit is huge, me not participating isn't going to cause any changes in how the site works at all. I find value in the site still, so I still use it.
