When I was on Reddit I felt like my opinion didn’t matter. But here it just feels more open and free.

    My reddit account was soft locked for months barring me from any interaction, just lurk.

    I never fixed it because i was wasting to many hours on debates. Yesterday i told my wife i was going to come downstairs after finishing my reply. It took 30minuts.

    Lemmy is great and i love interacting with it but honestly i wouldn’t mind a bot that helps me to stop now and then. This cant be good for my mental health in the long run otherwise.

      I empathize with this so much. I can sink hours into a forum, especially one that’s open ended like this and reddit.

      There are apps that give you notifications for when you’ve been using an app for a continuous period, as well as using your phone in general. I don’t use them, but I have been considering it.

      There’s simultaneously too much time and not enough time. I just feel like I don’t know what to fill my day with on an individual level, and then that there aren’t enough days. We only get what amounts to a few thousands and then we die.
