    I’ve never heard of the expression “doom scroll”! It’s awesome! With your permission, I’ll start using it.

    I also doom scroll Lemmy every night (which is bad, since I should sleep, but good because I stopped going to Reddit)

      Where were you doing COVID? That was when the phrase really was at its peak, as everyone was doing that to keep up with the news.

        I was lucky enough to be working regularly during covid, but I didn’t say I’ve never doom scrolled!

        I just never heard the expression on Reddit (which is where I was at the time when wasting… I mean, investing my free time) :)
