„The Lo-Fi Way I Broke My Scrolling Habit“

I’ve removed all my social media apps — Instagram, Twitter, TikTok — and moved them onto an old iPhone I had lying around my house. I dubbed this phone my Scroll Phone. I designated a single spot in my home where I could use it: a stripy armchair in my living room, which I have now anointed the Scrolly Chair. […]

I just do most of it where the algorithm can’t find me.[…] I still find joy in social media, a glimmer of fondness for what it could be when microdosed instead of overdosed. It doesn’t need to be destroyed; it just needs to be kept in a corner, on a shelf, on a pig-shaped stand that reminds me that social media was always meant to be a little unserious.
