Has anyone else been losing track of time in the Fediverse? (kbin.social)

I've heard other people talk about falling down Reddit holes over the years, but I was never this engaged on Reddit. I posted maybe a handful of times. I'd usually browse r/popular/top set to desktop version in Firefox on mobile without logging in. Here, though, I'm literally losing sleep and hours pass because the energy, the immediateness, the sense of joyous participation are all so intoxicating. Is this how you're experiencing this? I want to know.

Yeah, I normally just lurk around on social media, but the Fediverse has been different for me. There's just so much excitement and energy around all of this and it's just amazing. I easily just lose hours scrolling through kbin or Mastodon, and not necessarily in a bad way. And also, most of the interactions I have on here feel way more organic than they ever did on more "mainstream" social media sites, and I think that adds to the appeal a lot as well.
