It feels like I’m decluttering. I joined a couple meme communities or whatever they’re called here. And I like the usual stuff movies, games, books and have checked some of those. I’m not trying to go overboard and join every place, more so looking cool and chill places to interact with people.

    This is a good idea. I’m probably gonna start with more news/politically related communities. I’m so glad this place doesn’t have a news page like Reddit. I would find myself endlessly scrolling and viewing dumb posts with headlines like “this celebrity thinks that blah blah…” and then going to see what people are saying, and be like oh somehow has a ton of downvotes what did they say, and I’d be invested in an argument and then I’d catch myself and be like wait…I don’t give shit about this why I’m engaging with, let alone reading, the comments. Obviously important to stay informed but I wasted so much time scrolling through pointless “news” posts. I’m trying to avoid toxicity and engaging in stuff I don’t even care about only to get caught up in some dumb argument with an asshole
