It's so much nicer not having an account or the app for the other place anymore. Instead of doomscrolling, I've been doing the crosswords on the Guardian app instead.

A much more pleasant waking up experience

I still check out a few choice subs and comment. Much less than previously though.

Crosswords and other puzzles are great substitutes :)

I’m finding everywhere I hang out can have issues for me if I stay there too long exclusively… I have to have various places and spread myself out/rotate through them.

I wish I was more capable of doing healthier stuff than relying on the internet 🫩
