Seems like a nice enough guy, but I’m not a fan. Which is fine, since I’m not his intended audience.
Mostly Harmless.
Just some guy.

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.
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.
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, we’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.
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).
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.
