and using lemmy feels like starting a car in the 1910s by hand cranking the engine. ie i like it but it’s a pain

i got into twitter more, but i’m trying to not engage with the stupid shit that i know is just written to drive me insane

i also, a few times, reflected off the boredom and done something productive; made spreadsheets or installed a video game [i am physically unable to get into gaming for some reason]

    Relatable. I was relieved I wouldn’t be doomscrolling anymore. Then i found Lemmy, which works as a doomscroll sometimes, ut also goes down or goes slow randomly, forcing me to do something else.

    I’ve found that I’m also browsing (old-school) forums now to fill the time.

      The slowness is healthier, in a way. I’m reading a lot more articles than I did on Reddit, and I’m no longer a lurker.

      With apps like Voyager and Memmy I’m cautiously optimistic, a few hiccups with instances going down notwithstanding.
