All companies seem to be doing their best lately to cure us of our social media addiction.

Yeah for real. Enshittification has gotten me permanently off Facebook for like 4 years and Twitter for like 10. Reddit now for a few months. Getting ready to leave YouTube.

I have been playing guitar a lot more lately 😊

Been telling myself I need to get more exercise...

Are you me? I have been off of Twitter and Facebook for years now. Reddit is dead to me. YouTube seems like it's heading in the shitter. I've also been playing more guitar lately too! I'm still early on, I think I'm progressing nicely but I'm firmly in the "novice" stage. Take it from someone who didn't exercise at all before, you'll do yourself great even taking a nice walk for 20-30 minutes every day possible. It gets easier everyday, and they become enjoyable.

Haha pretty close! I'm more of a veteran guitar player. Just very rusty. Used to be 4-6 hrs a day. Now is more like 4-6 hrs a month. Last month was more like 4-6 hrs a week though!!

I hiked a lot during the pandemic! New job has had me sitting at my desk and ordering delivery though. Too much pot and beer, and I'm starting to feel winded doing things that are setting off some early alarm bells lol

Been telling myself I need to get more exercise…

I decided to get offline more and get more exercise. I found a personal trainer who runs his own gym. He has a media center set up to play music. It plays youtube videos. Without an adblock.

I've seen more youtube ads at the gym than I've seen when I'm doomscrolling at home.

My exercise of choice is hiking, so I'm all set to see less ads when exercising.

...for now :shudder:

I’ve been using GitHib as a social media. But instead of memes I see pull requests and commits.

I'm back on internet forums now. Screw the big companies.

[-] DoubleCat@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Can you recommend some general forums that focus on a wide array of topics? Or do you only visit niché community forums?

[-] i_am_hiding@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago

The Whirlpool forums are probably going to meet that requirement, though they're local to Australia. I'm not sure of a global equivalent...

Imagine if this turned out to legitimately be true, sarcasm aside.

They WANT us to stop fighting and just use social media less lmfao.
