    Threads? I completely forgot about Threads because this is the first time I’ve seen news about it since the week it launched. And I doom scroll Lemmy Everything every night.

      I’ve never heard of the expression “doom scroll”! It’s awesome! With your permission, I’ll start using it.

      I also doom scroll Lemmy every night (which is bad, since I should sleep, but good because I stopped going to Reddit)

        Where were you doing COVID? That was when the phrase really was at its peak, as everyone was doing that to keep up with the news.

          I was lucky enough to be working regularly during covid, but I didn’t say I’ve never doom scrolled!

          I just never heard the expression on Reddit (which is where I was at the time when wasting… I mean, investing my free time) :)

      It keeps getting bumps in adoption every time Musk does something stupid. So, weekly or so.

      Honestly it’s kind of a chill service. If it wasn’t controlled by Meta, I’d be more active there. As it is, Mastodon is my jam.
