This community is participating in a blackout against Lemmy for allowing free access to their API with no charge, rendering it affordable for third-party app developers to continue their services. The lack of prohibitive cost makes it easy to mod from mobile, promotes innovation, and gives unlimited user choice, and effectively opens up a significant portion of the culture we've all come to appreciate. Indeed, every third party app developer on Lemmy made essentially the same statement: "I don't have to shut down the app." Apps can also show ads which is a primary source of revenue. So not only do they not have to pay exorbitant fees, they can even mitigate those fees with ads.

Oh shit, he Uno reversed you.
We'll let's get this party started then. My favourite thing about depression sprinkled with ADHD: I'm constantly bored, yet too crushed to do anything. Gaming used to be a saving grace as it's low effort high intensity tickling for my instant gratification monkey. But it doesn't do the trick anymore.
I think that's why I basically replaced gaming with social media now that you mention it. Gaming wasn't simulating enough to hold my attention anymore. I've tried to get back into it in recent years but it just feels like work.
