Thank you for the inspiration Seth. Today I closed up shop on Instagram. I thought about who I would miss and messaged a handful of people my phone number to text me.
I put “Logged out” in my bio and links to Substack, RSS, and (something new I’m trying) SMS.
Already I have text and What’s App messages from folks I was only tenuously connected to through the whims of the algorithm.
Yesss I love your examples!! I just started discovering artists on bandcamp and I got my old iPod nano out!! Let’s rediscover offline things and things outside of social media ✨😍
I recently downloaded Screen Zen and it's been so helpful in controlling my social media consumption. I spend more time doing what I want to do like meditating, reading, writing, creating. I've also spent considerably less money because I'm not being advertised to death. I feel a lot more at peace.
That is an awesome list of stuff to do.
Thanks! Let me know if you attempt to do any of them!

That’s so great to hear! All those minutes and hours add up throughout the year. Put em to better use!
This is so good. There is so much more to life than screens. Let's go analog again.
AGREED!!!
