- Get bored.
- Open Reddit.
- Remember I’m not using reddit today.
- Open Lemmy.
- Go do something else.
- Go to number 1.
ive been spending anywhere from 1-4 hours a day on reddit for the past…13 years? probably the most ingrained habit i have. Broke that habit as of two days ago. Weirdly enough, its not even that difficult. Its like i just understood that its time to move on, like a breaking point in a toxic relationship.
Only downside so far is having nothing to do during public transit. Not enough hobby specific discussion here yet, everyone keeps babbling about leaving reddit, like i am right now… xd
Find a community that you like here and create post and talk. Only way around reddit for now. Give it a week and it will die down
The blackout is over after tonight, so I guess we’ll see how things go then. I left because rif is shutting down on the 30th, so I figured I might as well cut the cord now. I deleted the app when the first sub I subbed to went dark, and I haven’t looked back. Today is my third full day without it. I haven’t been on Lemmy as much, which is definitely a good thing, lol, but I’m really enjoying it so far. The community seems much more conversational and less offensive. I don’t get offended easily, but when people do it just for the sake of being offensive, I don’t like it, and reddit was full of those people.
