Lemmy has cut out my doomscrolling more than I estimated. I knew it would decrease, but usually I don’t scroll for more than 5 or 10 minutes at a time, and it never interrupts me doing anything else. Makes me look back and realize how unhealthy those algorithms really are.
It’s comments like these that make me wonder if I’m the weird one. I spend the same amount of time (hours upon hours, probably) on Lemmy as I ever did on Reddit, Instagram, Discord, or Tumblr. No algorithm, yet here I am.
