I, much like basically everyone here, have been avoiding Reddit when possible, and the content here just doesn’t hit the same. My fried dopamine receptors were certainly screaming for stimulation early on but now I feel an urge to touch grass and breathe fresh air. What is this? Am I dying? I still hate the angry lightbulb in the sky.

In all seriousness though, I’ll admit that I was kind of addicted to Reddit and now I don’t want to go near it. Maybe this will turn a new leaf for me. If not here, I’ll probably find some other way to satiate my dopamine receptors through more productive means.

    feels like people actually want to chat a bit here as opposed to either ignoring or simply arguing like on Reddit.

    That’s been my issue with Reddit for a while now. People are extremely polarized on everything. You can’t have a conversation about a casual disagreement without being downvoted to oblivion and people interpreting it as a personal attack. The smaller, focused subs are better, but still fall firmly into the groupthink dynamic of the rest of the site.

      Exactly. Debating with people is fun, but it isn’t enjoyable when literally everything but the most milquetoast of opinions ends up starting a viscious argument
