I stopped using reddit when Apollo went down, and 2-3 hours of scrolling and active posting in some niche subs turned into ~30 mins of Lemmy per day, which I find much more healthy.

I didn’t start doing yoga, painting, or a side business, just feel much better having cut back the last big pillar of my social media addiction.

So thanks Steve!

(If it’s not too much to ask, please take a look at how you could improve instagram, you could save another 15 minute of my day)

    At a certain point you just have to keep doing what you’re doing and hope people join you. :/

    There are so many scary topics today that “hey this is really important to get right” just doesn’t really hit bottom unless someone already cares about a particular issue, and we all know how incentivized those big platforms are to providing actual critiques of their products.

    I’ve settled on just telling people what I use and why, and sometimes they look thoughtful, and I do what I can with my own limited knowledge and time. More a minimization of harm than going for broke.
