How difficult was it for you to abandon a social media website for a fediverse alternative? - eviltoast

    Not at all. Honestly getting rid of Twitter and Reddit has given me more free time that I didn’t realize I was wasting constantly scrolling. There’s less to see on Mastodon and Lemmy so I usually just run through it in the morning on my way to work and a bit at night if I’m bored (like right now.) I’ve gotten back into reading books a lot more and getting off the computer for a lot longer.

    Honestly getting rid of Twitter and Reddit has improved my life if anything.

      I share the same experience. My Internet usage has been reduced to lemmy, few youtube channels, news and blogs websites. And it’s only after the third site refresh when I realize there’s nothing new to read for that day, which basically forces me to stop browsing and wait for at least two days to get new articles to read.

      In the meantime, I get to stare at the window peacefully or even lately, start writing again.
