Honestly the whole reddit protest was really good for me. I stopped spending so much time online, I only open lemmy occasionally too. Overall goodness for the planet

    I've been working on switching careers for the last six or so months. Made a lot more progress after the protests and have a final interview on Thursday. Please send prayers and/or good vibes my way. Switching from Marketing to Cybersecurity. One less talented marketing person makes the world a little less cluttered with people buying shit they don't need.

    Besides that specifically since the protests started I've been researching and thinking about learning to play piano. It's amazing how much time I wasted scrolling endlessly on Reddit.

    That sounds awesome. :D But how can someone moves from marketing to cyber security. I mean, it's a completely different thing.

    Music instrument learning is fun! Glad that now you can utilize your time better.

    I think its supposed to mean that since they are spending less time they are more active outside of just the reddit focus and if they are doing it others will be doing similar. Less of a “good for the environment” and more of a “good for the group of people who quit”.
