I feel like I'm spending less time on social media after switching to Lemmy
Oddly enough, people are pretty adamant about demanding that we add a lot of addictive features into lemmy, just because they exist on reddit and on other big tech platforms. I usually push back, but I’m always downvoted to oblivion. I conciously wanted to avoid putting these addictive, psychologically harmful things into lemmy-ui.
So its great to see posts like this one. Social media doesn’t have to be a negative experience, or addictive. The time we spend here should be short, and positive.
What would be an example of an addictive feature that could be added to Lemmy?
Karma we can definitely do without. I don’t know of anyone who actually took it seriously anyway.
Bots took Reddit karma very seriously.
