Totally not suspicious timing at all.

Also if you're willing to visit reddit, the comments under the post are great. They're not fooling anyone.

Yeah, I've regained probably an hour of my life after giving that place up.

Lemmy is my new ~~addiction~~ friend!

I gained atleast an hour every day after leaving Reddit. I Read lots of ebooks again and enjoying my time on lemmy.

Are you me? I've been listening to a ton of audiobooks since I got off reddit

No, they're me. I still spend a lot of time on the fediverse, but I find I can stop before 3am more readily, and I've been reading ebooks a lot more. Overall life is significantly better. The quality of discourse on lemmy is so much higher than on reddit. And I can log out and meaninglessly scroll memes for a while if I feel like it too.

And whether people like you or not, you get a conversation no matter what you say. It’s not so overpopulated that most of your comments and posts go completely unnoticed.

I made a dumb joke that was practically only downvoted, but at least it was seen.

I miss Reddit for a few little things here and there, but I’m glad I migrated.

I still accidentally type it into web browser from time to time but it's usually only a few secs before I realize my error
