I have work I need to do but I find myself scrolling here and on reddit-logo for hours at a time. It feels paralyzing but also its hard to stop. Not like reading about Lolitics* makes me feel good so why am I addicted to it 🙃

I was gonna correct that but it works. LOLitics, because everything is fucked so hard you just gotta laugh...

you should especially try and cut out Reddit for your health. get banned on purpose, that's what i did with twitter. recently i had been scrolling hexbear too much so I set a 1-hour app timer on mobile Firefox per day. I've surprised myself by sticking to it, since i know I have a limit i only scroll for 5 minutes at a time and i usually haven't even been hitting the limit.
