she’s SO BRAVE 🙄

I’m making the same transition kinda. I moved from Digg to Reddit over ten years ago. I was on Lemmy for a while more recently and then Digg rose from the ashes a couple months ago, but I’m realizing I like Lemmy/Piefed much more. I already had a trial run on breaking my social media habits when I left twitter though. I think a big part of it is realizing you don’t need a constantly updated firehose of useless information lol I’m still very online but probably like half of what I was when I was using Reddit and twitter. Now I have a blog, read a lot of RSS for that breaking, early news and I go to Lemmy for news with social commentary from normal people who aren’t influencers. I comment more here too because I’m not competing with millions of people to have an edgy top rated comment. I think the biggest thing is embracing smaller communities and going from there.

Closest I ever came was trying brave browser for a couple months a few years ago and I made a cool $0.83 in digital Monopoly money 💅

I hate it. It even bleeds over into performance reviews. Like you’ll never get a perfect score no matter how hard you work because you always have to be improving on something. It’s supposed to be the sure fire sign of “success” but all it does is create impossible goals and bring everyone down.
