Right? If I so much as accidentally look at a screen for a minute hours before I sleep, I toss and turn forever trying to go to sleep

I learned about this from this amazing video: https://youtu.be/RmlWmDokzGg?si=uL9QX9eICFPd3C0z

This is why Lemmy needs to keep tweaking it's feed algorithm. I understand why many people rightly have a distaste of social media algorithm fuckery, but Lemmy doesn't have some of the same bad incentives that an ad driven site like Reddit or twitter might have. A better algorithm will help Lemmy grow and surface interesting posts organically.

The recent feed change to boost smaller communities in 0.19 is a good start, and not showing too many posts in a row from the same community will be another welcome change.

I've done this every time I've looked for a job. If it's the kind of company that would snoop on my browsing history and cause issues, it would just have motivated me to look harder 🙃

I'm speaking from my 20+ years of experience in tech, so this advice might not apply anywhere, but I've found the fastest way to keep increasing your salary is to switch jobs every couple of years. I usually got bored of a job in a couple of years anyway, so this also helped prevent burnout. Additionally, switching jobs at leisure like this meant I could negotiate new salaries harder at the new place and didn't need to try and change jobs during an economic downturn or a bad job market.

Oh, and I've always regretted staying on in a company too long once I get the itch so I'd recommend starting a hunt as soon as you think a change might be good instead of waiting till you start hating your job!

Surprisingly I still quite like the taste of Corona, Heineken 0, etc!

Also on Reddit being a poweruser meant that you could probably sell/loan your account to shady advertisers, which isn't as much of a problem here since the Fediverse isn't monetized by ads.

Additionally, I think power users are a problem if they're just blindly spamming posts without engaging with the community, not so much if they're just organically filling the void with posts.

I <3 lemmy's prolific posters. o7
