When I used to work in the office I probably worked about 5 hours a day at most. The rest was spent on personal projects, fucking around, whatever
Now that I work from home it varies between two and four.
My production is exactly the same.
Just some guy.

“Putang ina.” (“Son of a whore”)
They said this charming Filipino phrase whenever I did something stupid. So, often enough to count as a catchphrase.
True.
Also, not only are people nicer on Lemmy, I find that I’m nicer on Lemmy.
think most people can tell that majority of African and Asian countries have anti-LGBT law without needing “international attention”
Until I read this very article, I had no idea that being gay in Malaysia was punished by 20 years in prison.
Seems like a nice enough guy, but I’m not a fan. Which is fine, since I’m not his intended audience.
Mostly Harmless.
Allies.
This isn’t the 90s anymore. Today, unmoderated/poorly moderated online spaces are breeding grounds for the usual toxic assholes who ruin everything.
Blackadder, Red Dwarf, Fawlty Towers, the IT Crowd, and (oddly) The Good Place.
Maybe he should cut more checks to right-wing grifters. That should help.
I still subscribe to a couple of niche subreddits because their lemmy equivalents haven’t taken off yet. But aside from the occasional check-in, I don’t really visit any more. Amazed at how much time I wasted each day on nothing.
Since I left Reddit, I’ve had a few searches yield very helpful Reddit results. I read them and move on. I’m running an adblocker and I’m not providing value by commenting. I see no problem with this.
So just like that a bunch of communities I’m subscribed to are gone? I guess I could make another account on beehaw but this is quickly becoming more trouble than it’s worth. I’ve broken my Reddit addiction. Maybe it’s time to leave lemmy before I get attached.
Reddit is going to be fine. It will lose a few thousand conscientious, tech-oriented users. But with a lowing herd of millions who don’t care about anything more than internet points and scrolling, they’ll hardly be missed.
Today was the first day in a decade I didn’t check the front page. So I’ll also be fine.
I’m spending a lot less time online than I did
Removing Sync from my phone was huge in terms of changing my habits. Without ready access to the dopamine drip, I am using my phone so much less than I did even a week ago. And as you said, I’m reading more and scrolling less.
I’ll admit it’s very much like getting over an addiction.
“deprived members who choose to exercise their religious beliefs by referring to the biblical texts of an opportunity to do so.”
I have chills imagining a legislator consulting the Bible when debating a law. There’s more morality in a random Spider-Man comic book.
I popped into one of the few subreddits I participate in and the consensus was mostly, “Who cares about the API/third-party apps, I just want my Reddit back.” Whatever, they can have it.
I’ve been working to curate my RSS feed in the last couple of days so I never need to visit Reddit at all (outside of being directed there by a Google search result).
Deleted ten years of comments, but kept the account (for personal reasons).
Nicotine.
I stopped counting when my last nicotine hit was, which I think might be the key here. A couple of years at least.
No urges, never even think about it.
