Sucks but on the flipside it means that I’ll have more time for myself.
I already spend less time on social media because R/all sucks balls and lemmy doesn’t have too much content. I don’t have any other social media.
I also don’t have cable or pay for streaming services, so I found a replacement in the form of YouTube and Spotify (podcasts). I’m ok if these options go away.
There are a lot of hobbies that I want to do and the less distracted I am, the higher chance that I’ll choose to do them instead of dicking around.
Tldr: brings it on!
Yeah I used to be on reddit everyday before everything went to hell and now I'm only on it like once a week and lemmy only a few days in between usage.
Life is more.. enjoyable now? Lol
For me, I wouldn't say it's more enjoyable per se. I miss looking into interesting topics. However, I do find myself focusing on my business more which I guess is a bonus. But outside of that, it's very disappointing the enshitification of the Internet that's occurring.
Fast forward: Adverticement for cheetoes blares from the screen and aceshigh stares, as if in a trance, at the screen of flickering colours. In the background are half finished hobbies strewn on the numerous surfaces of the room. A cat jumps up on the table, pushing a half full glass on the floor and starts to scream at aceshigh. The monitor switches to an upbeat man shouting "Surfass VPN! You need it!". The cat, at this point almost having a red face, finally snaps aceshigh out of their absent state and they go "Not now Flufferdudel! gotta finish this video".
Same, except that I listen to podcasts and Youtube videos while working (it's a boring job) so I still don't want to totally quit Youtube and Deezer
