I'm a little bored of Lemmy. I'm going to go browse Lemmy. (lemm.ee)

Back in the ole Reddit days of ereyestermonth I had a habit of closing my reddit app of choice on my phone, and then as a reflex immediately open that same app back up.

The issue has evolved for me on Lemmy. I have two Lemmy apps on my home screen. I was using Voyager before Sync was released and then I started using Sync. But I also kept Voyager on my home screen since Sync didn't support posts when the beta was originally released. But now I'm too lazy to remove it. I still like Voyager anyway.

You see where this is going. I'm now stuck in a loop where I'm closing one app and opening the other, just to read through the exact same posts.

Send help. Or not. This is fine. I'm going to take a break from Lemmy for the rest of the day.

Unironically & with no malice attached, you should log off for a bit. Social media, and the pocket scryers that enable it, were designed in part to short circuit your reward centers. If you want off the dopamine treadmill, you'll have to make a concious effort.

Break your rhythm, get a book or something and a burner flip phone for emergencies. Or a lock app.

I adore the use of "pocket scryers". I will be yoinking that from you now :)
