"I'm feeling something nagging at my brain to check the feed, to get more engagement, to do better... is it all just inevitably damned?"
Yup
The #Forkiverse sounds like it was made with exactly you in mind
"This report, in contrast, is the opposite: It shows you 'account growth' and top x% Mastodon user' stats that I feel are detrimental to the reason people came to Mastodon.""
Necessary edit:
"This report ... shows you 'those #DopamineHit' stats that I feel are detrimental to the reason people came to Mastodon.""
I thought Mastodon was always about detoxing from #Dopamine
Apparently #Gargron et al want to join the Kool Kidz Klub and have #Mastodon be just like #YouTube and #Instagram and #Twitter and #Twitch and all the rest of the #Influencer hangouts
Here's me, 2025 from Twitch.
Whoopee!
Aren't I too cool for school?
I've been watching this develop on #Github
Apparently #EndOfYearReview / #Wrapstodon is going to be worse than I anticipated
Just Another #DopamineHit bling for the terminally bored and the always-exhibitionist
Hard pass on that

What about this is something that I'm supposed to be interested in?
I thought escaping the #DopamineHit treadmill was one of the key reasons to be *on* #Mastodon in the first place
But I want to constantly revisit how I'm doing?
Why?
Seems a tad prurient to me
I mean, I'm sorry, I guess, but you seem to have asked the question
#ADHDers - tell me about your #obsessions
What activities excite you? From what do you seek your #DopamineHit ? Inspiration please 😁

Nothing quite like having your feet up, with your favourite tracks playing and the bass turned up; waiting for the washing to finish, whilst feeding the dopamine devil by scrolling through “the feeds” ahhhhhh!
