No, of course not. If you’re using Lemmy as a “protest” instead of thinking that it’s a better platform, it’s totally ineffectual and you’ll go back to using Reddit sooner or later. Personally, I think that the fediverse is a more compelling idea than the traditional internet, so I’m sticking with Lemmy for a bit in one form or another.
TÁR is maybe the most recent great movie, and it’s absolutely a product of its time. You could tell a story about abusive, manipulative people in the past, but the specific way that her story spirals out of control over the course of the film (and the way that it reflects the culture around her) could only have been told recently. It’s really gripping stuff.
Screens, realistically. I know that it’s a “soft” addiction and nowhere near as serious as a substance, but going even five minutes without pulling at my phone, using a computer, or watching a TV starts tugging at my brain. That’s something you develop as a kid and I don’t see myself fixing it unless I totally “detox.”
My Reddit account is still mostly subscribed to cat subreddits, so I don’t see it as often, but yeah, the trend you’re noticing is 100% real.
In terms of Lemmy, I’m just on Lemmy.world, I have no real reason to sign up for something else. I’m also on Mastodon, though.
