I already read a fair amount. 2022 I averaged something like 118 pages per day averaged out of the year. So far in 2023 I’ve averaged a more sustainable 50 pages per day.
So not being on reddit isn’t likely to influence my reading that much.
Yeah that’s a perspective I understand and I will miss some of that. However for myself at least the removal of Reddit appears to be beneficial to me to such a degree as to out weigh the loss.
But I already have had the benefit of 13 years of reddit opening my eyes andt 13 years of growth and experience from teenager to a responsible adult at the same time so don’t feel the mind broadening the same extent any more.
Mildly infuriating my arse.
The only future outcomes are wholly and completely infuriated to the very core of your being if the ex escalates past phone harassment to real life.
Or
The feeling of smug self satisfaction of dodging the fucking firing squad when this person leaves your life without further fuss.
I’m undecided at the moment.
I’m now mostly past the muscle memory of instantly opening Reddit any time I’m not actively busy.
Lemmy isn’t ready to fill the hole that has left. But honestly as it stands I’m not sure that I want to fill that hole. It would probably be better for my mental health, concentration, social life and many other things if I could successfully leverage this moment to become a whole lot less of an online person.
The beans phase had me doubting the quality part for sure.
Exactly. Ain’t no rule stating ladies can’t pick up a wrench.
