After Reddit pulled a capitalism, I decided to come here and more importantly read more. In the past decade I had read maybe 2 books. Now I have read a ton and I’m really happy to be reading as much as I did when I was a kid.
Since Reddit pulled their capitalism and I joined Lemmy, I have come out of my shell more here, but also gotten a lot more reading done, and the time I do spend watching YouTube and other fun stuff is a lot better than it used to be since Lemmy got me back into Linux and the FOSS ecosystem, particularly Invidious and FreeTube.
So I have ended up spending less time on social media, but the time I have spent has been a lot more fun.
The Linux and FOSS “propaganda” on here is effective lol. I’ve swapped my laptop over to Linux and I’m close to swapping my server and main computer to it.
