My life/internet balance used to be engineered on the idea of "no notifications ever"

But, then as I got ready to endure Didney Worl I went through all the mobile ActivityPub clients in the IOS app store again and found Mona for IOS and was like "dang fedi client apps have come so far"

And so for the last month I have been using that, and I love it. There are still missing features for pleromers :pleroma: but, it gets the bulk of things.

My fedi consumption has definitely increased over the holidays. Today is my first day "back at work" so, trying to manage my attention with it better now.

I'll admit making the legendary quest my sole source of asynchronous sociality has been one of the healthier internet choices I think I've made.

Constantly glad that I have been able to stay out of the youtube gravity hole for as long as I have.

Yeah, shorts are just kinda horrible.

I miss the days when you actually had to hit [refresh] on all your feeds.

I still can't believe you actually bother watching them.

@amin @rl_dane @twizzay @adamsdesk @[email protected] @dm @[email protected] @krafter @orbitalmartian @sotolf @thedoctor @mirabilos I don't think even super-short-form is necessarily inherently bad - I've seen e.g. compilations of a lot of short things on the same subject that I don't think are necessarily bad

Like... a bunch of shorts on the same educational topic could even be a really useful way to learn a new skill! Here's 1000 bite-sized things you can to get better at XYZ!

STARE AT THE ESCAPISM MACHINE FOR OUR SHAREHOLDERS PLZ is the problem

@amin @rl_dane @twizzay @adamsdesk @[email protected] @dm @[email protected] @krafter @orbitalmartian @sotolf @thedoctor @mirabilos (I was going to say 'dopamine dispenser' but I think that vastly oversimplifies the problem and I'm increasingly convinced the "don't do things that you enjoy!!!" attitude that often comes out of it is toxic as hell)
