Hello guys, I need to take a break from Lemmy. Lately, I’ve become attached to it, a part of the community (which is probably good). Unfortunately, it triggers fear of missing out (FOMO) lately for me. Don’t get me wrong, Lemmy has become the most wonderful community on the Internet, but this time, I need a break from the Internet. I want to focus on my game development and away-from-keyboard tasks and use the computer less for lurking on the Internet and more for daily tasks.

In addition, I want to test myself how long I will stay away from social networks. I want to understand why community-based social media like Lemmy is addictive, what are the benefits and drawbacks of it, and re-learn how to use the Internet. I’ve set a goal to be inactive on Lemmy for at least 2 weeks, starting from tomorrow, but my journey can last much longer. I am asking for your support in this journey.

What do you think of the problems a perfect social media has I mentioned above?

    You must approach Lemmy from the mindset of a 4channer:

    1. No one cares about what you say beyond the thread

    2. Shitposting is life

    3. There is no karma

    Only then will you achieve zen with Lemmy or social media. You will find that the act of posting itself is fun, not the message or outcome. Be free. Shitpost often.
