The front page of Lemmy is the same as it was yesterday, BUT that made me realize that I had an unhealthy addiction to Reddit, refreshing multiple times a day and doomscrolling never ending content (lemmy.ml)

I've gone a full week without Reddit and I'm realizing the sheer amount of time I wasted on that fucking site. I'm taking back control of my time, my mental real estate, and mindfulness. I don't need new content every single waking moment, checking the app multiple times a day. If I check Lemmy every other day, that SHOULD be the relationship I want with an app like this.

And if I'm really really bored, I'll check "All instances" and sort by New on Jerboa!

Things can be slow. But we're very spoiled because of all this rush, wanting the ultimate last information right now and squeeze the very last drop of dopamine we have. It's good to live at a slow pace sometimes.

Fediverse pages have no algorithm that tells you what you must see, they're not under the rule of a big corporation and they're free of ads and monetization. They rely on our voluntary donations, and except for very few situations, admins are really cool.
