i find myself spending WAAAAAY more time on reddit as an unregistered lurker than a contributing user on the entire fediverse combined due to the lack of content.
what are some easy things i can do to make sure that my surfing doesn’t benefit reddit or any other site?
There was a nice gap of time I’ve had where I didn’t have Reddit knocking around in my mind, this was when I was banned for like the millionth time. For reasons that boil down to - having opinions and those opinions offending the overly sensitive types. In that gap of time, I realized that I stopped hating my job so much because Reddit exists to amplify the feelings of how much you must hate your job. This is based on the poor takes and lack of understanding people have about your job so it’s easy for them to have misinformed takes that are backed by superfluous emotion to support it.
And in turn, makes you look at what you do for work and just hate it all when beforehand, you didn’t care either way. I’m pretty certain that if I kept going to a subreddit that focuses entirely on hating my kind of job, I would most likely be out of said job because I’d find a dumb baseless reason to have been fired from it based on the stupidity of said subreddit.
And my mind decided to finally get back into some form of gaming. It might be a game that I play day in and day out but I hope it can steer me into playing more games in the future.
