    Sucks but on the flipside it means that I’ll have more time for myself.

    I already spend less time on social media because R/all sucks balls and lemmy doesn’t have too much content. I don’t have any other social media.

    I also don’t have cable or pay for streaming services, so I found a replacement in the form of YouTube and Spotify (podcasts). I’m ok if these options go away.

    There are a lot of hobbies that I want to do and the less distracted I am, the higher chance that I’ll choose to do them instead of dicking around.

    Tldr: brings it on!

      Yeah I used to be on reddit everyday before everything went to hell and now I’m only on it like once a week and lemmy only a few days in between usage.

      Life is more… enjoyable now? Lol

        For me, I wouldn’t say it’s more enjoyable per se. I miss looking into interesting topics. However, I do find myself focusing on my business more which I guess is a bonus. But outside of that, it’s very disappointing the enshitification of the Internet that’s occurring.

      Same, except that I listen to podcasts and Youtube videos while working (it’s a boring job) so I still don’t want to totally quit Youtube and Deezer
