    I wasn’t a power user on Reddit. I wasn’t even a particularly active lurker. So… I’ll go back to not being an active member of online communities. Return to doomscrolling Facebook and Tumblr without participation, I guess. Game more. I enjoyed sharing history on the Fediverse more than all of that, but not if my user experience is going to be shitty or require a reworking of my communities every year. At that point, I’d rather just keep to myself, and the Fediverse doesn’t have enough content for me to just be a satisfied lurker on here.

    Who the fuck doomscrolls Facebook?

      Sometimes when I’m trying to avoid doom scrolling on insta, I’ll open Facebook to doom scroll the marketplace and I’ll sometimes get sucked in groups content. The site is a trash heap though. Total dumpster fire. Makes me feel dirty.

      I doomscroll musical instrument listings on Facebook Marketplace all the time. You find some real gems in there, like people who list compound bows (the rooty-tooty-point-and-shooty kind, not the “violin” kind) as “hole punches” and categorize them as musical instruments. Very, very rarely an actual bargain will come up in this goddamned wasteland, and I guess I’m at the “call of the void” phase of this shit because I will roll the dice on losing both kidneys for a shot at a Mashall JCM-series head selling for less than eBay, Guitar Center, or Reverb.

      I quit that cesspit almost a decade ago. Just thinking about going back gives me this dreadful feeling of impending doom. So I guess any scrolling of fb is doom scrolling
