What do you *do* online these days? Where do you spend the most time? - eviltoast

reddit is shit and makes me annoyed, twitter is shit and makes me annoyed, tiktok is shit and makes me annoyed, pure news sites are boring, cracked is dead, google doesn’t work anymore, lemmy is only memes and news and fairly slow

i feel like i used to be able to sink into an activity on this machine, but now i just spend 5 minutes somewhere, the algorithm runs out of content, i get annoyed and go somewhere else, same process happens. i feel like i have amnesia, i used to enjoy this but i have no idea how.

    Discord communities, youtube for content I enjoy, lemmy, checking tumblr and mastodon.

    I used to say that “Once I leave Reddit I’ll have more time for my hobbies instead of looking at a screen about my hobbies” but I realized that:

    • One website’s existence doesn’t solve or prevent a problem of my brain chemistry
    • I already have a lot of hobbies and reddit introduced me to some, and most of those are offline.

    I think the fact that Reddit imploded is good, it gave me an excuse to leave a site that I hated more than I enjoyed being part of it, for lots of reasons.
