Hmm thanks for this. Must be a problem with my instance or something

Oh definitely, looking back I did a lot of doom scrolling and I didn’t realize how much it was affecting me. So happy to be off or Reddit

Honestly feel like this is more reason to join a smaller instance which can interact with all of these communities. It takes some of the load off of the bigger instances, you can have a closer relationship to the mods/admins of your instance, and have protection against drama that goes down between the bigger instance

I wonder if they could shift to showing cached versions of pages, so that data is still accessible externally, but you can’t interact or get to it from reddit.
