CIRCLE WITH A DOT

@stveje as a YouTube addict myself, that is the toughest one for me gaha

@rubyjones the lack of spoons is so real

@stephan yeah, Google maps is terribly useful haha

Mastodon seems to be a very pro-privacy, anti-Gopgle place. So, be honest... How many Google apps and/or services are you (intentionally) using these days?

Additionally, are you trying to reduce that number?

@taylorlorenz honestly, the people that love (are addicted to?) Tiktok and Instagram *want* an algorithm feeding them, or at least want the option. Additionally, Mastodon simply doesn't have the same addiction-based behavioral design... When most of your time is spent reading text or viewing a static image, the endorfin hit is just much smaller and spread out. In that way neither does Twitter, but the last ingredient is siloed rage. Fewer people with more consistent views means less excitement.
