Probably infinite scrolling in jerboa, as its a very harmful psychogical anti-pattern. Now that I’ve added it, people have been extremely resistent to my insistence that it should be done away with.

I mean there are people who probably will not develop an addiction because of this (due to stuff like good self regulation skills), a lot of things can be addictive but also be good (like social media), maybe it is better to add features that help regulate behavior like a notification after a amount of time has passed set by the user (or just suggesting a link to a open source app that does this).

After it being the standard for social media for so long, it’s tiresome. Same mentality as those Clicker games

Would also appreciate this as an opt-in/toggleable feature.

I would love the option to disable infinite scrolling, I really hate it as a feature because I noticeably spend more time on a platform, feels very bad for my little brain. I’m happy to read that it is at least something you think about, great work anyhow.

This feels like a good solution. Perhaps make it the default on new installations?
