I’ve seriously shaved off an hour or two on average of screen time on my phone since I left Reddit. Now I keep dead scrolling to a minimum. Feels positively exquisite.
I genuinely feel better because of it. If I really try I can scroll for hours, but I find that I’m using my phone less because I can get caught up on my feed for the day by scrolling for a few minutes
Chiming in, it feels super weird to say, but in part I do like it here because I use it less. Among the things I wanted out of social media, I would not have pegged "inactivity" as an apparent plus and there's no getting around doing something else.
Does make me feel a little guilty, since I'm in essence lurking and then only every couple days when I still want this to succeed and could be offloading literally anything to make that happen. I'm just..distracted at the moment. With not social media.
I went back yesterday to check out the NFL power rankings. They never did a week 0, and they’ve yet to fill probably a third of their rankers. I’m just going to use the ESPN power rankings from now on.
Only reason i use Reddit now is the panel show subreddit, I check in about once a week to see task master news.
Hopefully the British tv Lemmy’s will pick up here.
Only time I go back is when I’m searching for something and cannot find what I’m looking for elsewhere. Despite leaving and deleting my account, I still find myself having to go back due to the inferiority of other resources and it sucks.
Thankfully I have never had to go to their actual website or the old(dot)reddit website either because I can still get access through northboots’ libreddit instance.
