I’ve been on Reddit for over a decade. But I’m done with that site and want to do something else. What do normal people look at on their phones? Is it all social media? Streaming?

    I mean, the main place i observe this is people commuting on the metro. If they didn’t have phones they’d be reading tabloid newspapers.

    I don’t really see anything wrong with using your phone on the metro. Some will look up art and crafts, some bird photography, others makeup tutorials or video game content. If they can explore their interests rather than just waste their time completely that’s fine by me.

    Of course it’s also a dopamine trap, and Instagram use trends to get a bit out of hand. Still, it seems to me some Lemmy users are a bit too quick to write off “normal” people as broken down zombies.
