People who still use both Reddit and Lemmy and are slowly leaving Reddit. How do you do it?

I have noticed that I'm very often on Reddit through either Apollo or the website out of mere habit (possibly even addiction). However, I have also noticed that the more I use Reddit, the more I feel agitated by all the negativity and toxicity from the users.

This is pretty much in all subreddits I'm active in. Mostly in piracy and piratedgames, people quarrel over the most trivial things and downvote each other for no reason at all.

Unfortunately, Lemmy has less content than Reddit. Though, I can't call what is on Reddit content anymore.

Reddit is full of bots who's mission is to keep you outraged and angry, there by keeping you engaged and locked on. Of course you're going to feel agitated. I left cold turkey and replaced my addiction with Lemmy, people here are nicer and fewer bots.

    funny you mention the botting, it gotten so bad, that reddit lost tons of traffic due to AI posting it, and google not renewing thier contract reddit to train thier AI, OPENAI/CHATGPT is steering away from it temporarily. not much data to mine, if its all AI anyways. and this partially the result of the overbanning they had done last year. wiped hordes of accounts per user.
