I do often click "use app for five minutes" lol. But often just that pop up where I basically have to give myself permission to be off task is enough to get me back on task.

I just showed this to my husband and asked "Is this me?" He started reading it and just kept nodding then says "Pretty much, you never get straight to the point."

I don't even know my doctor's name 😅

I worked at my last job for 8 months. When I left there were still four people who I didn't know which was which. I knew what the four names were, because they were on the schedule, but I never worked with those four, so I still have no clue which face goes with which name, lol.

Time to get rowdy!

I have a digital wellbeing app that allows me to set time limits for each individual app, and I can set work mode to allow whatever apps I want during the work day. When the app is "off" the icon turns gray and you can't open it without telling Digital Wellbeing you need 5 minutes (or turning DW off). This helps me keep my usage down, lol.

Naw, man, as long as your contributions are positive, it's a good thing! More interaction will encourage more interaction.

Unless, of course, you're shirking your responsibilities. If that's the case, then get off Lemmy and clean your room!

I'm curious what comes next. I already quit Reddit, but I'm still invested in the outcome. I spent well over a decade on Reddit, so I wanna know how this plays out. I'm really loving the Lemmy community, and I don't plan on going back to Reddit (won't say never, cuz if they backpedal and make appropriate changes I'd be willing to go back for some things, but it'll never be at my old usage rates).

There is, I just looked.

I used rif, so I'm just done with reddit now. I'm not using any other app, and I refuse to use a browser. Bye bye, reddit.

The blackout is over after tonight, so I guess we'll see how things go then. I left because rif is shutting down on the 30th, so I figured I might as well cut the cord now. I deleted the app when the first sub I subbed to went dark, and I haven't looked back. Today is my third full day without it. I haven't been on Lemmy as much, which is definitely a good thing, lol, but I'm really enjoying it so far. The community seems much more conversational and less offensive. I don't get offended easily, but when people do it just for the sake of being offensive, I don't like it, and reddit was full of those people.

There seems to be a correlation between civility and willingness to put up with spez. If you're willing to put up with all the bs he's been spewing since this started, you're less civil. All the respectful people came here, or are finding other replacements. People who don't care stayed, and it shows.

Hoping to find a happy medium between that and quitting this type of content entirely.

That's my goal, too. Having less content to browse should help with that, but I need to find more active hobbies, lol.

I really like it here so far. It doesn't seem too difficult to learn, but I'm just getting started. Checking out the Jerboa app, but I can't figure out how to reply to people replying to me from my inbox. I came to the web version to reply, lol.

What's Tildes?

I'm on Jerboa right now and not unhappy with it, but if the rif developer gets involved in something else I'd definitely check it out. I used rif for many years.

I've never been able to do audiobooks unless I'm reading along. Can't pay attention to spoken words. I used to hate when teachers would make students take turns reading passages aloud. I literally couldn't pay attention because they would read s o s l o w l y that my brain would have too much time to think between words.

I've read whole pages and chapters, then realized I need to go back because I have no clue what just happened. I don't even know where my brain goes during those times, lol. It's just gone.

I'm really liking it, too. I was fairly active commenting on Reddit, was a user for over 15 years, but this feels good.

I just don't like using web versions of stuff. I like apps. Jerboa isn't bad, and I imagine it'll improve if/when more people start using it. I just started, came from Reddit when the subs went dark, but so far I like it here, and I like Jerboa.
