- Get bored.
- Open Reddit.
- Remember I’m not using reddit today.
- Open Lemmy.
- Go do something else.
- Go to number 1.
It’s usually difficult for me to break habits, but right now I’m motivated by rage and contempt, which is making it a lot easier. And the fediverse is like a methadone drip to come down from the heroin-like addictiveness of endless information.
Tip: instead of opening reddit, just search “reddit” and read all the tech news articles shitting on Steve Huffman in diplomatic ways. It’s very satisfying.
