    Deleted Reddit and Twitter same day, I’m bored for sure but it’s kind of insane how addicted to information I am. Trying to break it is hard.

      Addicted to information, or (useless) scrolling through posts? It took me long, too long to be honest, that Reddit was mostly scrolling through useless information. I’m glad I’m done with Reddit now.

      Would you care to give Mastodon a try now?

      Likewise. Their spots are now occupied by Lemmy and Mastodon. I really hope the fediverse takes off more, it reminds me of pre-2010s internet before the mass corporate takeover of social media.

      Addicted to information, that’s a good way of putting it. I feel the same! The constant stream from reddit took so much of my time. I do miss it and it’s still a good way to stay informed about what’s going on in the world. I much prefer the forum style to TikTok/Reels/Shorts/etc, which feels like brainrot if you spend any amount of time scrolling through

      Information like food can be good for you or junk. I was always on old.reddit because I tried to stay away from the endless scroll as much as possible. I take walks when I get super bored. I have a ton of hobbies and responsibilities I can work on, the walk helps the bored feeling go away and I get an idea of what I really want to do. 4 days clean off Reddit brotha.
