I migrated over to Lemmy and am learning more about that. As crazy as it sounds, I have cut my screen time in half since the blackout. I think this has shown me I’m on technology a bit too much and I need to go outside more and be more productive with my day.

Same, my bathroom time has easily halfed lol. But seriously, I really like the idea of the Fediverse, if I understand it right. Like, each 'sub-reddit' is it's own service, distributed from each other. Rather than Reddit which is centralized. I absolutely miss certain things about Reddit, /r/bestof was my longest subscribed sub. I don't think I'll be going back unless/u/Spez does A LOT of back tracking and apologizing.

I'm sure some will go back when the blackout ends, but I'm here to stay. Even if Spez apologies and backtracks, I wouldn't go back. They showed us who they really are and what they are going after. I'm not going to help them by giving them my data. I'd rather invest time, effort, and energy to this decentralized thing......as soon as I understand it more.

I will miss Reddit, but even if you go back it won't be the same.
