I remember a long time ago on the old Steem blockchain, reading a rage quit post and just thinking; why? For me there was no point to the rage quit. You make a post telling everyone that you're quitting whatever social media platform and you tell them why. But of course, ultimately, nobody cares, which is why I said I would never do it. But hey, never say never, and fast forward a few years and I found myself rage quitting.
Why?
A bunch of reasons that you'll care even less about, but let's just say that due to various personal problems mounting in my life, I let them get to me enough to rage quit Hive. So in the spirit of tucking my tail between my legs and shuffling back, let's try and come up with the perfect rage quit.
A good rage quit should have an evocative title, something that's going to make someone think Wow! That dude/dudette is fricking pissed off!
Preferably it should be dismissive and disparaging of the community you are rage quitting.
Mine was titled:
Hmm, that's a 5/10, far too passive aggressive, whilst I'm implying that anyone who does well on Hive kisses arse (or ass to my American readers), it's not really agro enough. Perhaps a better title would have been:
However this again does not really cut it. A good rage quit title should have at the very least one exclamation mark and should use at least one expletive and of course should indicate that you are actually leaving forever. So this would have been better I think:
Now that's a good rage quit title!
Hmm, we can go freestyle on this one, the words you use are not as important as your tone. Remember above everything else, a good rage quit post should be entertaining for the people reading it, so ranting is an absolute. Try and make as little sense as possible whilst contradicting yourself wherever appropriate.
In my own (rather poorly executed) rage quit, I let myself down badly on this one:
Unfortunately you have to kiss arse and not be honest to survive here, so that's me out.
Bye and thanks for all the fish
I mean, extra points for the Douglas Adams reference, but ultimately this was waaaaay too polite of a rage quit. I should have pointed out the perceived character flaws of the community whilst targeting particular users, something along the lines of:
*"If I have to watch another person worshiping at the alter of 
Yes, yes much better.
A good rage quit should involve you coming back several times over many days to check and reply angrily to the comments. In this respect I did okay, however I would say that my replies weren't angry enough, they were far too reflective and quite frankly had a real downer tone to them.
Remember! People will generally find your rage quit hilarious, do not let them down by going all soft in the comments, keep your rage burning! And even if you forget everything else, remember this:
NO ONE CARES!
So there you go guys, three easy steps to the perfect rage quit. Let me know below if I've left anything out!
