  • I was in a similar position to you. I had 500k karma iirc and I was legit addicted.

    Delete your account. That’s what I did. It was unthinkable and honestly kind of painful but looking back I’m so glad that I did. Rip the bandaid off and you’ll never really have a reason to go back.

    Find a Lemmy app that you like (or mbin or kbin, they all serve the same content (kinda)) and just use that.

    Lemmy has far less content so when you run out of things to look at, realize that that is the addiction and try to do anything else.

    When commenting, try and remember that you’re (probably) responding to a real human and don’t be an asshole. Admittedly I’m not always great about this but have made a lot of progress in the right direction.

    Try not to get involved in the inter-instance drama. It isn’t worth your time.

    Its a process. You’re going to find what works for you. You’ll probably fail a bunch too but life is about getting back up when you fail so just keep at it and you can make meaningful change if you want to.


  • I don’t have the time or resources to keep state sponsored actors off my back and its almost impossible for the average schmuck to do anyway. Some people really do need that level of privacy and its great that there are tools available to do that, but for me personally I just need to keep Corporate America off my ass and block passive surveillance by governments.

    I’m (almost) completely degoogled and the only Microsoft product I use is outlook for work. For the moment, that’s good enough for me. I’d like to do more but honestly right now I’m up against diminishing returns.
