View submission: Life without social media
Reddit is social media! It triggers all the same mental responses as any of the other scrolling based platforms.

That’s the comment I was looking for. I thought it was ironic seeing a “life without social media” post on social media

Reddit is BY FAR the most addicting to me and it’s the ONLY platform I don’t connect with people I actually know on. Idk what people are on about- I use Instagram to connect with friends and enjoy sending congrats on people’s stories, I see when acquaintances I wouldn’t call have kids or get married. On Reddit I see random people asking if they’re the asshole or celebrity news.
Besides the morality of Meta ownership, all the platforms are what you make on them.

Yes, you’re right, but I find reddit less addictive because I have to actually read things, and the ads aren’t targeted. I come and go much more easily. I also deleted Instagram, Facebook, and Snapchat yesterday.

Not for me because it’s about engaging in topics I’m interested in, instagram is about watching other people’s lives and that has the potential to be harmful.
