I've contributed and made more replies on here than I ever did on reddit in a decade. Feels a bit more genuine and accessible. Also trying to close the door on insta, my only other social. Tired of that shit.
Man, me too, I want to leave Instagram so badly. Not that I'm addicted to reels or anything, I just can't seem to go through with the deletion period. Even as I am typing this, it's on deletion period, and I'm gonna reactivate it again probably. I hate Instagram because it seems fake, people flaunt their lives like trophies and I hate, hate it. And because I am against Megacorps. Fuck Musk and Zuck, and spez.
Do what we did with reddit and switch to pixelfed. Lemmy doesn't nearly have everything that I read on reddit, but it's such a nice habit switch that that is good. It fulfills my desire to read random stuff, laugh and talk to people. I haven't used pixelfed but perhaps it could fulfill enough of what you get from IG to help you break away.
That's a great idea. I'll try Pixelfed. Thanks.
