This feels like a forced reddit detox. (kbin.social)

I, much like basically everyone here, have been avoiding Reddit when possible, and the content here just doesn't hit the same. My fried dopamine receptors were certainly screaming for stimulation early on but now I feel an urge to touch grass and breathe fresh air. What is this? Am I dying? I still hate the angry lightbulb in the sky.

In all seriousness though, I'll admit that I was kind of addicted to Reddit and now I don't want to go near it. Maybe this will turn a new leaf for me. If not here, I'll probably find some other way to satiate my dopamine receptors through more productive means.

Honestly, I've been off reddit for a long time. Reddit made casual lurking so hard I stopped bothering.

That being said, the fediverse has probably been the first time in some time where I've had fun on the internet. It has somewhat recaptured the old spirit of finding new interesting things and communities online, even if most of them are just lemmy instances, and the same kind of content that was on reddit.

This is exactly how i feel about it.

It's like finding out about EFnet from AOL back in the day.
