The last couple of days I experienced something that I never felt since I’ve been using Fediverse services. For the first time since half a year ago, I felt like actually being sucked into the Fediverse. I only realized it a couple of days later that I hadn’t looked into Twitter and that’s the crucial point: didn’t even felt like I was missing something or had even the urge to do so. I had actually forgot that I was in the Fediverse, I had felt home. But then suddenly I felt like: oh, what if I did miss something? I again opened TwitterX (didn’t miss anything).
It was also not a purely positive experience, it also concerned me a bit for reasons I do not know yet.
Anyone else experienced this? Is there a word for it?
I’d say “addiction”.
You should probably get off the computer for a while and go outside.
Look who’s talking! 🤣
You should too before you experience the following symptoms…

Do you add 🤣 like a laugh track? You know what was said was unfunny, but maybe the emoticon will encourage people to laugh?
