Lemmy is active enough as is and the apps are great but I still have that unfortunate ingrained habit where I keep coming back to abusive Reddit.

I should instead focus my attention to contributing to the conversation here, sharing articles and creating original content.

    set a rule for yourself, the moment you feel your blood pressure rising because of something on reddit, close it out and don’t go back for a while.

    edit: I just did this for myself and lasted about 25 seconds before I saw something stupid enough to make me want to choke the person through the screen. reddit is back on the block list :)

      Yeah… That ain’t me.

      I’m more of a “you’re the one that sucks, why should I leave?” kind of guy. Which basically means you tell people what you think until they ban you and then it’s no problem anymore.
