a growing trend: deleting social media. biggest demo, gen z.
another trend: ditching mobile phones.
digital minimalism.
i watched this video of a guy who ditched his cell phone for a month. entertaining. enlightening. motivating. life moves on. just slower.

i'm thinking of doing a 30 day no mobile phone and no social media (even nostr) challenge. just cut it out completely. see where it goes.
i think richard stallman would be proud.
My phone was broken for a month, and I didn't know what time, or day it was.
I felt disoriented in a way but not much changed since I rarely get notifications that I care about anyways.
In a way it's better but it's also worse.
Things are harder if it requires a phone, banking, communication, etc.
A lot of the modern world relies on cars, phones, and fiat scores (credit scores) unfortunately.
I would say do it but make sure you have backup tools like a watch, or something to replace, notepad, book, iPad, etc.
Since the mind will still need that stimulus, there's information that you'll still need to know, etc.
Interesting. sounds like a journey. would you do it again?
my edc is usually a notebook, pen, watch, utility knife and my grapheneos phone. but no one messages there other than family.
i don't do any social media or banking (don't have a bank account) stuff on my graphene. maybe email. maybe.
planning the escape!
a growing trend in *social media* deleting social media.
Huh?
One more trend. It will pass, like all the others did.
