It's ongoing. I ditched my smartphone for a Nokia running KaiOS and a Bangle.js. It took a couple weeks to break the habit of compulsively checking my phone, which was nice, but everything is so much nicer when you literally do not have an Internet-compatible device on you.
The hardest thing was giving up Discord, which was something I wanted to do anyway for free-software reasons, but I've found life more appealing in the real world anyway. When I do want to talk to other people like me far away, I find that many of them maintain their own websites and are more than happy to talk. This is my utopia.

- meghan_rain 4y agoBtw, you can still access Discord on a laptop no? This was my plan: when I work (on my laptop), I use all the latest and greatest, Electron-powered wasm scripts running LLMs on a blockchain through VR goggles - but when I close the lid, I am back to a baseline 2000-ish calls and light texting only mode.
