arguably, i was happier when i used reddit. however when i started using discord and irc (and, stopping using reddit because i can only really use one at a time because adhd) thats when my mental health went aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa but i think thats probably for unrelated reasons. however, after i quit discord/irc and went back to reddit because boredom and i feel a lot better for some reason that i cannot explain
its odd because youd think being surrounded by a good community (as i was on discord/irc) is good for your mental health, or at least better than a bad community (reddit) but i dont know how or why but its the opposite for me
