Whatcha up to this blackout eve? How are you spending it? Anything you’ve made more time for? Do any of you feel antsy? Lmk! :)
Wasting my life on Lemmy instead.
The only valid answer!
Yeah I thought about trying to better myself like learn to bake a soufflé, read a book, workout but then I just go to Lemmy
I feel like Reddit is a big basket of candy and goodies and I’m just sitting here staring at it telling myself not to touch. I’ve spent the time away by listening to podcasts and spending more time outside gardening and reading actual books and not a screen. It’s really rewarding and freeing, but I miss interacting with a community so I’m glad to have been directed to Lemmy.
Uninstall Reddit so you’re not tempted
I visited Facebook… It wasn’t nice.
Yeah I’ve seen enough of my older relative’s political views to know that one is a lost cause haha
I’m spending the time, accidentally absentmindedly clicking on Apollo, seeing the protest posts and then force closing the app. Haha
I had to move bacon reader off my homepage so I’d stop clicking on it.
Mostly Lemmy, Mastodon,
actually touching grass after years,and for my less proud time-waster, Discord and Youtube.Trying to figure out Lemmy. It’s not easy…
Also, replying to users who keep requesting access to our blacked out sub.
I think you’re going to find a little bit of a sampling bias asking that question here.
oh how so?
Honestly, just taking a break from social media all together. Reddit was my main source of “media” for the past 7 years. I joined Lemmy to hopefully be a replacement. But it’s nice to just have a cleansing every once in a while :)
ooohh very nice. every once in a while ill have a no-media or tech day in a similar nature myself. very refreshing!!
I spent it hunting down a reddit alternative and browsing on lemmy.
I’m not going back. Reddit will go downhill gradually as it tries to squeeze out value at the expense of the community, and that’s not something I’m going to support it any way.
This is day 2 for me on Lemmy, plus a bit of time for the previous 3 or 4 messing about here and there. And… I’m kinda in love. I just hope there’s more people showing up, with more content and such soon :)
I realized how hard Reddit is getting astro turfed by large organizations and I’m glad to be somewhere it’s not yet a problem.
Removed by mod
Well, looking if this lemmy thing is a good replacement ;) So far seems this is the way to go!
Especially with Jerboa already in place, its IMO a good switch.
The one thing that worries me is all that useful info trapped on Reddit, if Lemmy data expires then that has a long term cost/loss which is sad.
Spent the day installing light switches that I’ve had sitting in the garage for a year. Pruned some shrubs, burned some leaves, raked some gravel, touched grass, etc. Almost never posted on Reddit. Full time lurker. Enjoying contributing to Lemmy just for the sakes of user interaction :) Let’s stoke the fire!!
Playing disturbing amounts of Factorio. Unfortunately a vast chunk of Factorio knowledge is on Reddit so I keep accidentally navigating there, fortunately the Factorio sub is dark so I can wander off again quickly.
My man
Not a man. Love your username though, as luck would have it my most recent endeavor was getting iron plates onto my new train network. Finally migrating from bootstrap to real base
Anyone can be my man, regardless of gender.
The factory must grow.
Well, Lemmy, of course! Also, discovering new sites at https://cloudhiker.net/explore, some Plex maintenance and even a little bit of baking!
I still opened RedReader by reflex a couple of times, but I closed immediately. So far, I don’t miss reddit at all. I have been pleasantly surprised by how welcoming this community has been, thank you everyone!
I uninstalled all my Reddit related apps just so I wouldn’t open them out of reflex. I think this blackout is gonna be permanent for me chief
I joined about a week and a half ago, spent maybe an hour surfing before I made an account. After getting Jerboa set up I deleted RIF(🫡😭) and put Jerboa in it’s place on my home screen.
Trying to boost engagement on here and on Mastodon.
And playing LOTRO
Lemmy instead
