I find i’m doing more activities in the real world, sitting with my thoughts, and not constantly needing content to fill the void (as much)

thanks spez

    I joined Lemmy and immediately felt out of place and a little lost.

    Anyway, I’ve been here a month and, to make sure I fit in, I’ve installed Linux and joined the communist party.

        None of my videogames work anymore but on the bright side, I now realise they are just an opiate of the masses employed by the bourgeoisie to stop me from seizing the means of production.

        Boots quick though.

          You probably already have, but if you’ve not yet check out Wine and Proton, I’ve seen numerous guides on setting up a Linux gaming rig that runs Windows games.

    I doom scroll far less.

    I comment more and have better discussion.

    I feel more at home, but I was always on the geeky subreddits with a FOSS bent anyway.

    Things have actually gotten worse for me. With how crappy Reddit has been over the last few years in terms of how engaging my feed is, I’ve been spending less time on it naturally. Now on Lemmy I find myself addicted again, spending 3 hours in a row some days, after having already used it throughout the day. I’m thinking about giving up Lemmy and Reddit all together, wondering if my comments are even valuable to society and what not. I think maybe I’d be happier without either. Not saying you would be, or that others shouldn’t be on Lemmy, just that I personally struggle with it and it interferes with my life sometimes.
