RULES
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
- Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
- Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
- Keep it clean and SFW
- No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

Things where better when the internet was one spot in your house. Not in your pocket at all times
Post made using Boost for mobile phone
I've been very seriously considering a dumb phone.
I recently got a small basked a little larger than my phone. I put my phone in it when I get home from work. It's a good example for my kids and it helps me to actually be present with my kids instead of being on my phone half of the time.
You were on your phone half the time? Damn
Not literally, but way too much, and I didn't even realize how often I grabbed my phone without even thinking about it.
Damn
Do it. Stop writing about what you would do on your phone.
Here's an idea: get an old phone supported by lineageos and just don't install any apps or even f-droid. This is essentially a modern iphone 1(the first). Not totally dumb but dumb enough to not be a distraction.
