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)
That’s like saying playing video games for 10 hours every day isn’t a sign of addiction because it devalues the gaming hobby.
Social Media addiction is a real thing. Every single popular social media app is designed to draw people in and keep them using it. The “drag down to refresh” is literally copied from slot machines.
