It’s fine, but moderation is key. If you spend all your time (or even your life!) there, then that’s unhealthy. You’re using it as an escape and avoiding the real world.
I see you’re on Lemmy.ml. It’s PROBABLY because of that. That instance is really big so it causes posts to not load and what not . Go to a smaller one. Like in the ~1k range or something and I’m SUREall of these problems will go away. It was the same for me when I first joined Lemmy and picked Lemmy.ml. The following day I switched to Lemmy.ca back when it had ~40 users.
I feel like the only time “this.” is reasonable is when you add something meaningful after that statement. Whenever I say “this.” under a comment, I don’t just leave it by itself. I add some extra stuff that I think would be useful or important to the conversation, or I expand on the previous commenter’s point. Never say “This.” by itself.
I once wanted to post a meme on r/memes. My post got removed because I needed a lot more karma (my estimation was that I needed 1k each for both comments and posts but it wouldn’t actually tell me how much I needed). I REALLY hope that doesn’t appear here. It just blocks people from making and sharing content with others.
Loads of people will go through withdrawal symptoms.
