Anyone else feel that Lemmy just *isn't* addictive? - Lemmy.world

Or at least less so than Reddit. It’s good, but, I can’t put my finger on it. Even when the content is good, the servers are up, and I’m getting notifications responding to comments, it’s never come to me doomscrolling for hours.

It’s not supposed to be. It doesn’t jam endless recommendations in your feed once you’ve gotten at the end of the new, fresh content. I feel like it’s a feature, not a bug, to have platforms that don’t optimise for time spent on them, because they don’t need our attention to show us ads.

Exactly. It shouldn’t be addictive. It should fill a purpose.

Reddit did not fill a purpose. It was mainly skreee all day.

While I’ve some Reddit behavior here for the most part it’s been discussions.

I lean right. I’m not far right. I’m socially more left but fiscally I’m more right.

Reddit was just skreee to me.

Fiscally right?? Does that mean you write a check to Jeff Bezos every month?
Oh fuck that dude. I strongly dislike bezos. His whole business plan is abuse everyone. That’s not my style
I just don’t get this “fiscally conservative” bullshit. You want to cut taxes on the rich as infrastructure continues to crumble? You want to hide your money in offshore bank accounts? You want to implement legislation that funnels unregulated money into corporate bank accounts then forgive all the debt?
Of course you don’t get it. How much more are you will to pay in taxes? It’s easy to spend other people’s money.

Right, like how conservatives spend our tax dollars on anything except programs that would help ordinary people.

It’s real hard to feel bad for someone who has 100,000,000 when they are right fully asked to contribute their fair share. Even when that may leave them with only 90,000,000
