We spend half our lives online nowadays and it’s obviously causing damage to our health. Do you think it would be worth the benefits to stop carrying a smartphone and to disable the WiFi at home?

    I tried to switch from Reddit to Lemmy completely, but the communities for the games I play stayed there. I already wrote off Reddit for anything general, but for the games it’s a nice source of info. (The subs I’m in are good in self regulating)

    I use Lemmy more for general discussions, reading or when available, specific communities (like fountainpens, bass, …) and when I feel like it, go back to Reddit for the very few subs I’m still interested in, mainly due to lack of info elsewhere. (Facebook account was deleted january 1st, so 2-3 more days and it’s really gone) Next to that I’m on dedicated fora.

    I have to say, being on Lemmy feels like how I started on internet in '94, more nerds then commoners to chat with, which is a huge pro (seeing people knowing they have brains and how to use them ;) ).
