people posting here are going out of their way to post -- and it feels like every thought has more weight or sanctity or meaning when it's being posted here, at the dawn of a new era and the fall of an old.

i'm spending more time actually reading and engaging with every comment, parsing the details and thinking about it, conceptually. versus just looking at garbage all day, garbage with a little bit of fentanyl in to keep you hooked

I've felt this so hard the past few days. I would often post on Reddit and never get noticed or find myself just wading through a sea of garbage. Here, it's a lot less noisy but the interactions I do have are noticeably more genuine and that feels great.

I didn't notice it until recently, but I whole-heartedly believe that Reddit was bad for my health.

100% this. I ended every day doomscrolling until I got bored or the feed accidentally refreshed and sent me back to the top. Now I'm starting to see how bad that was for me.

Doomscroller here chiming in to say I couldn’t agree more.
