By not quitting you are missing out on something else too. I quit playing an addictive RPG game on my phone in the evenings (no pay-to-win IAP fortunately!). Soon thereafter, I came across an interesting hobby and now focus on it in my spare time.

FB was making me feel annoyed. Quitting it helped a lot. With HN it is a bit harder because some content here is actually useful. I find avoiding comments on submissions about layoffs, Google, Meta, Apple, lawsuits, etc. helps me be more positive.

I’m developing a similar approach to Reddit (in theory)

Saying these sites are great resources for information, but not great places to express emotion.

IMHO Reddit is so manipulated nowadays I am not sure it is a great source of information.
