This is why I mostly gave up on FB, I hate how the same article you commented on, circles back up every time someone else comments on it...I tend to like to give my two cents, then mostly forget about if someone replies and I catch it in notifications and want to respond I'll do it, I don't need it in my feed to do that, they also should have some toggle to avoide seeing the same thing twice duplicate content gets so fucking annoying.<p>Reddit, there's some duplicates w/ cross-posting, but for the most part you click /r/all or even /r/frontpage it's a much funner experience for input seekers.<p>Multireddits are my favorite, if I'm in a tech mood I've got one for tech / startups or one for just webdev/programming, etc... It's also a lot less 'look at me' and more 'look at this cool thing', plus there's a snippy/witty attitude that most comments on reddit seem to have.<p>Honestly I feel depressed, moody, and mind-drained when I browse fb, reddit I feel more relaxed, and enriched. I also keep my frontpage on reddit less political, facebook is way too political.
One thing I occasionally do in my free time: Wikipedia has a Random Article feature: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random</a><p>Just click and you will be redirected to a random article. Most of the time the article will not be very interesting to me, but occasionally I discover interesting things I never knew about.
A little randomness is fun and enjoyable. Not to mention, it can throw off those ad targeting algorithms a bit by injecting a little disinformation into the mix.<p>One of my favorite (now, sadly defunct) links was <a href="http://random.yahoo.com/bin/ryl" rel="nofollow">http://random.yahoo.com/bin/ryl</a> to give you a random link from the Yahoo! directory.
