A couple weeks ago, I deleted social media off my phone. Insta and reddit was all that was left, but I noticed how much of a useless time sink they were becoming. My daily mood has also improved.

Now, I’ve been reading manga and playing chess online to fill the gap. But I’m still looking for suggestions on what else there is to do besides doom scroll. It’s not like I’m outlawing the internet entirely, I still have interests and hobbies etc, but I’m open to just about anything.

    Duolingo. My whole family has caught the bug. I hear the little ba-ding! noise from all corners of the house all evening long.

    Y todavía no puedo hablar bien español 😕

      I wish there was a foss option that was so good for, for lack of a better description, mindless learning

        It is not as game-ified, but you can have a look at anki. There are plenty of premade decks about various topics to learn with.

          I’ve found premade decks tend to be extremely over done in a way that makes them actually pretty ass. However, I do love anki so much. I’m using it for Japanese , 2000 words in so far.
