my brain is literally depressed from having no ragebait to react to and frankly I am tired
Have you considered real life activism?
Jesus, I’ve been consciously aware of the fact that I’ve fallen into this exact trap, again. Honestly didn’t really know if others were trapped in the same cycle.
For me, the issue is that there’s no viable counterpart to many of the reddit communities I used to enjoy. There’s more general lots, sure, but so few that actually touch base on the same familiar level.
Maybe it’s time to walk away.
i think you are right: it is time to walk away.
when i switched to lemmy, many communities i was into at reddit, did not exist or have very little posts. over time i discovered other communities and am less online in general. it is a getting used to it, but overall a net positive.
lemmy has a lot of the same look and feel. but they are not the same.
I have only been gone from reddit for just over 6 months. Today I made the mistake of browsing it, there is so much misinformation, noise, and hate. After scrolling for about 10 minutes I realized that I hadn’t seen anything of substance that I hadn’t already seen on Lemmy
I really don’t feel like I’m missing anything by leaving reddit
I don’t know if it’s just me but last time I browsed Reddit or Facebook they just gave me a bunch of unhinged right-wing phobic bullshit.
I dunno if it’s because my privacy skews their data on me or if they’re just trying to feed me misinformation but either way fuck these companies.
here’s ragebait:
whichever way you put the toilet paper is wrong
you probably meant bidet, just to be safe, you aren’t allowed in my house.
I occasionally land on Reddit from trying to find an answer to something niche, but Lemmy has gotten much better and more active to the point that I’m seeing enough here to keep me from wanting to go back. I don’t know official numbers, but it at least feels that way.
