This. Many people feel good about themselves for using lemmy, but not using big tech software doesn’t mean you’re doing better than before.

Social media remains social media and still is a huge time waster and a detriment to your attention span

Though I try to be more lenient on this view because not long ago I was reminded of the benefits of moderate social media use.
