    I find myself wanting to kill time by using my phone and scrolling, even Lemmy, and realizing it’s not doing anything for me. Just a comfort scroll. I think I’ll probably kick the social media/scrolling habit completely within the next year.

      Someone once said that social media is like reading the worst book in the world which is also endless, that you can’t stop reading. I think that’s apt.

        Yeah, Lemmy is actually pretty terrible tbh. I keep hoping it’ll get interesting but it’s repetitive AF.

        But did you know Linux beat Windows in a test of 10 games?!

          Yeah, posts are admittedly pretty samey. And While “Reposts are part of our religion” etc. etc.
