I feel like I'm spending less time on social media after switching to Lemmy
I feel like I'm spending less time on social media after switching to Lemmy
Maybe it's just because there's less content on Lemmy as of right now, but I remember doomscrolling Reddit, but now I only briefly open Lemmy once or twice a day.
Could this be an example of the affects of addictive social media?
You're viewing a single thread.
Corporate Social Media are constructed to be addictive. Ever since I immigrated on July 1st, I stopped using SM like Reddit, twitter (only FB for old relatives sake). I noticed that I actually decreased the time I spend on Lemmy and Mastodon. I value it as the same kind of decision as the one that I quit smoking
I scroll for about 30 minutes, try to comment or post OC once, set it down and check back later in the day. I never did that on Reddit!
What are you doing with your extra time? I bought a keyboard recently with a digital screen that shows you which key to press, sort of like guitar hero. Also learning spanish and thinking about buying an entry level nice telescope.
Started practicing writing instead of looking at shitposts and it's been a great decision.
I love this for you! Keep growing and learning
I started experimenting with home automation. I have ordered some sensors and I'm planing to use the with home assistant. Talking about a big rabbit hole.
If (and it's a big if..) I am successful, I guess that I'll have even more extra time :p
That sounds really cool! Is a keyboard like that called something in particular? I'd love to hear which one you got.
