I caught myself loads of times scrolling on Reddit while not even paying attention, or while scrolling on Reddit to then close it immediately opening Reddit again to continue scrolling.

It felt just like any other social media app, scrolling mindlessly, for at least a few hours a day. I noticed this has changed since I’ve been using Lemmy, where I might spend 30 minutes a day on. I’m curious if other experience this too! It feels nice to be freed from Reddit.

    The amount of time wasted on our attention spans because of ads… Sometimes I feel suffocated, it feels like an intruder trying to crack open my skull through repetition. It’s so nice to be able to go on a website with no ads like lemmy! MY ADBLOCKER DOES NOTHING IT HAS NOT HAPPENED IN THE PAST 10 YEARS

      My adblockers work so well I haven’t seen a reddit ad in years.

      I use block origin, noscript, plus my own pihole.
