My mental state using reddit vs lemmy.
Listen, I like lemmy, but it is turbo-doomer compared to Reddit. I think one of the biggest differences is that the smaller reddit communities that I’d use to escape the doomer shit like /r/furry_irl or /r/polandball just don’t really exist here.
Same here. I generally prefer Lemmy at this point but I absolutely hate how everything is politics on here. Even the meme communities are half the time just shitty talking points in a meme template.
So much negativity all the time and all of it is essentially useless because virtually everyone on Lemmy is at least progressive already. So the comments are just a bunch of people agreeing with each other how terrible everything is.
It’s really exhausting.
Do you have a few minutes to talk about our Lord and Saviour, Linus Torvalds?
also there’s no escaping /c/lemmyshitpost and their jemes
Everything is about politics on reddit too
Everything is politics everywhere
Yep, you’re right
It’s the opposite for me, actually. I use Lemmy far less than I ever used Reddit, so its easier to actually not feel so addicted.
I gave up Reddit and started on Lemmy, but also started speed cubing. Now when I have time to kill I’ll just get my cube out instead of mindlessly scrolling.
I can now on average, solve a Rubik’s cube in around 40 seconds.
Just an idea of how much time was consumed scrolling politics on Reddit
Absolutely! I’ve picked up reading, and finished the first full novel in years for me. I picked Dune, and actually enjoyed it a lot, even if I overall felt myself questioning if Frank ever knew a real woman in his life.
Dune is a damn good book! I lost interest around book 3 though
I’m guessing the original of this was anti-suffragette propaganda? I love that shit. It was always “if women can vote, they’ll behave as badly as men”.
That’s the most patronizing bullshit I have ever heard. It would have driven me mad.
I always thought it would be the mods who would cause reddit to fall. I never thought it would be this way though
so… we have comfy chairs?
