I've been thinking about my life enjoyment lately and a big part of what drags me down is getting into doom scrolling.

For work I need a device that's connected to a lot of stuff, but I want to unplug outside of those times. I think my Graphene phone will be that for me, and the only social I plan on having with it is Nostr.

What other minimal things do you figure would be useful to put on it for basic non-work necessities, that also won't have me habitually looking at a screen all day? Think things like maps, ride sharing, message app for only friends and family, etc

I built boltraven.com to combat this for myself. I don’t doom scroll anymore. I bookmark things I love then enjoy deep diving on them.

I think 2 phones is pretty necessary for people dependent on phones/internet for work. I just bought a dumb phone (but can't figure it out ironically) for weekends or gym time that would just have a separate phone number for emergencies. I like the idea of being completely disconnected at least on...

A good podcast app, my fav is AntennaPod. So you can just listen and not have to watch. For messaging, Signal is easy for most folks to use (family). Also, SimpleX is great. For music, i use Newpipe (youtube frontend). It lets you subscribe and download music without logging in. I use all of t...

I feel the same way. Internet has been soo unbelievably toxic lately. I feel it’s affects on me, and I don’t like it.

One option if you want only one phone, is to set up a separate profile that only includes certain things. Or even a notification scheme on the main profile that only lets one or two people get notifications through. The family messaging app might get mixed up if it's not synced on your main phone, ...

I started using gray scales instead of colours (via accessibility menu). This has a quite strong effect! Alternatively there are devices with e-ink display like the "Daylight DC-1".

Thinking about this more and more. Nostr as great as it is in terms of a protocol is not a great solution to the doomscrolling problem. You end up doing the same thing on a decentralized protocol instead of doing it on a centralized platform. One is better than the other, but it's important to rec...

While I think it is unhealthy to doom scroll. The world is full of atrocities and ignoring them only aids those committing the atrocities. For those of us privileged enough to just ignore them and do "self care" it is most important that we raise our voices. Just bring apathetic to the suffering i...

Why you make nice lady Caitlin into a grotesque monster click bait? After all the work she has done for the space. Would you onlyfans your wife for clicks? Do you not have enough sats, or engagement already? yeah doomscroll addiction is your karma sorry not sorry https://i.postimg.cc/dVZ8yVBH/se...

What do you want to use your phone for? I recomend to treat it as a tool and not an entertainment device. Less is more.
ScottyStackSats · 24w
In those cases i use no phone all together. I just keep my apple watch on me so i can contact friends and family, i can use maps to move around and some other apps that are useful day to day. Obviously you need a watch with a eSim. My philosophy is : cannot doom scroll if there is nothing to doom sc...

With Nostr it's also a good idea to have a custom follow list. For example I have a list called "Home" that has only something like 13 people that only post deeper thoughtful content that I enjoy - like nostr:nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytndv9kxjm3wdahxcqg5waehxw309ahx7um5wfekzarkvyhxuet5qqsw4v882m...

Quite easy. Graphene + Orbot/InviziblePro/TorVPN/I2P Then only install open source applications through Obtainium or F-droid for communication. Everything else is a fragile distraction that will fail sooner rather than later so no sense in trying to make Google, your bank and all those fiat shit ...
