It took me some time to finally leave reddit too. I deleted my account, but had this weird feeling of missing something, so I eventually created another. The thing is like a drug, and I believe all the big social media works the same.
When I went back there after stopping for some time, I could realize how terrible some communities can be, how it was making me feel more depressed and angry, and how I was wasting time from my life in there.
Then I deleted it for good, and filled that void with other things, both online and offline. Now I feel much better. One could argue that lemmy is just another social media, but it's different. it's not designed to keep us glued to the screen and have drug effects.
