I see friends, family, strangers, subconsciously go for their phones during thoughtless times daily. Have a moment to think… Scroll. Showering with their phone propped up watching a video. First wake up and spend an hour or two frying the mind.

It has gotten so bad in my friend group and close family I swear they could not function emotionally without consuming content. When you bring it up or any negative about it. Anger, distasteful emotions. How do you talk, convince, gain real traction towards slowing or decreasing time spent. Once or twice a day could be ok. These people do it for sometimes hours daily. It’s sickening. Advice?

    I kinda agree, but it’s also a very small bar with mostly empty shelves.

    I’m usually reading my all-feed, and after like 20-30 minutes I’m into single digit upvote counts (if I even read to the end). So you’re gonna have a hard time spending “hours” per day here, unless you’re also on other platforms.

      Oh, some of us manage it…

      Then again, I have a lot of time on my hands that has to be completely interruptable at a moment’s notice
