reddit is shit and makes me annoyed, twitter is shit and makes me annoyed, tiktok is shit and makes me annoyed, pure news sites are boring, cracked is dead, google doesn’t work anymore, lemmy is only memes and news and fairly slow
i feel like i used to be able to sink into an activity on this machine, but now i just spend 5 minutes somewhere, the algorithm runs out of content, i get annoyed and go somewhere else, same process happens. i feel like i have amnesia, i used to enjoy this but i have no idea how.
I never spent much time on Twitter or on Reddit - I have an old Reddit account, but it has 15 karma or something like that. Likewise I have a very old Twitter account, but I never posted anything to it nor did I use it to follow people. I just never had any interest.
For some reason, the social web sucks me in in the same way PhpBB forums did when I was in my early teens. Not quite as bad of course, but it’s still striking.
Other than Mastodon and this place, I read news and sometimes tinker with my personal website. I rarely struggle to waste time if I want to.
