Guys, I'm starting to think the problem is me...

[–] MetaPhrastes@lemmy.world 28 points 1 year ago (4 children)

I totally relate to this. I didn't like the environment on R*ddit, but here people are much nicer, so the addiction is even worse!

Guys, if you have asthma, ignore Lemmy at all costs. Everyone's breathtaking.

How do you know? I could be just a random, irrelevant nobody

[–] pyska@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 1 year ago

If you think about it, being a nobody is the best thing you could be. You are not drawing attention to yourself, you are living in harmony with the environment. That's pretty cool. Breathtaking, even! :)

Get off my lawn!!!

There, did that help?

[–] flameguy21@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

You asked nicely, so I'll just get off your lawn. Sorry.

My only complaint is it's a bit more meta here, but that's understandable given its growth and why it grew (reddit's poor decisions)

[–] GlennMagusHarvey@mander.xyz 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah, I wasn't really using Reddit much before Reddit had its meltdown and the threadiverse exploded onto the scene. I've had a lot of fun here. Frankly I think I understand how the threadiverse works more than I understand how Reddit works.

I've had a similar experience with Mastodon. Wasn't a big Twitter user, but now I'm more active on Mastodon than I ever was on Twitter. On each of multiple Mastodon accounts.

You're the problem, it's you?

[–] irmoz@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Yeah, i really thought I'd spend a lot less time scrolling without reddit

First couple days, sure... then i started to find more and more axtive communities, and couldn't help but keep logging in

I'd upvote, but your at 69 so I won't. If it changes: wasn't me, I swear!

Time to upvote. That # has passed.
