Here's the thing. Reddit had me hooked on it like no other until the API fuck up. Pretty much dropped it on it the spot.
After the first week it dawned on me how much time I was spending there.
So while I setup here, much less time is being spent online overall. But the interaction has jumped up immensely.
My garden is looking better and I'm hitting the gym much more often.
I'm seeing this attitude in comments a lot. And it's the same for me. I think a lot of us got a little burned out on Reddit and have realized just how much time we wasted there or online in general - even with how shit it had become.
To me, it has felt like there's been a change in the air for the past couple of years. As if people are waking up and seeing the world differently. Like there's a whole societal shift happening. We're realizing we don't have to be bound to or by these corporate assholes.
