This feels like a forced reddit detox. (kbin.social)

I, much like basically everyone here, have been avoiding Reddit when possible, and the content here just doesn't hit the same. My fried dopamine receptors were certainly screaming for stimulation early on but now I feel an urge to touch grass and breathe fresh air. What is this? Am I dying? I still hate the angry lightbulb in the sky.

In all seriousness though, I'll admit that I was kind of addicted to Reddit and now I don't want to go near it. Maybe this will turn a new leaf for me. If not here, I'll probably find some other way to satiate my dopamine receptors through more productive means.

I am feeling the same thing. I left Reddit completely but Kbin and the Fediverse does not have the same addictive qualities. I see it as a good thing though I think it’s only a matter of time before it gets there.

My biggest issue right now is that Kbin does not seem to hide or blur NSFW content. It’s getting awkward to explain to my wife why the occasional hard core porn comes across my stream.

It might get more addictive but there's still not the same incentive to design for more engagement like on mainstream social media.

About NSFW content randomly popping up, I actually haven't seen any of it yet.
But still I wouldn't scroll any of the fediverse (or Twitter if I was still there) around people. Never know for sure what will pop up.
