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.
