It's better to just not be on the computer consuming online content instead of switching websites.

I don't go on reddit and am here only occasionally (would be 100% gone if I could delete my account). Instead of replacing reddit/HN time with X.com, I just do other stuff entirely.

Is there something you'd rather be doing with your HN time?

View on HN

I am on HN more, but it hasn't replaced Reddit. HN doesn't move fast enough for hours of dopamine hits like Reddit is. HN is for when I'm at work and I need to give my brain a rest from a tough problem. My time at home no longer has any social media when it used to have WAY too much Reddit.
