    Well, I started just playing more my game backlog on Steam and finding other things to do that wasn't scrolling the interwebs most of the time. I come here, sure, but no where near as much as I did on reddit, and I don't comment here nearly as much as I did there either.

      I quit reddit when they started charging for API. I started engaging with my local library. I'm 35 years old and started reading my local newspaper for the first time ever in my life.

      I came back to Reddit only to discover lemmy and now I read both my local news and lemmy.

      It's been nice. Calmer, less stressful. It feels good again and I realize now that I've been very unhappy with reddit for many years now.
