  • I’ve gone on total media blackout, it was destroying my mental health. I even deleted the news widgets on my phone. I have two exceptions:

    • Lemmy, but I have a very curated list of communities I follow. No “news”, no politics.
    • I follow RSS feeds from sites/people I like. For example, Cory Doctorow, Electrek, Kottke, Daring Fireball.

    Through this, I eventually learn about the “important” stuff, but it’s not in my face at all times, baiting for clicks and inducing rage.








  • If I wanted to start another Reddit, this is what I would do. Hell, siphoning content from Reddit is still done in many places on Lemmy to stock the pond. In this case, we have the opportunity to stop it before a competing platform takes off. If they’re not going to play by the rules of federation, they don’t deserve the bounty.
