Disassociating from social media?

One of the methods that developers use is bright colours to grip your attention.

Greyscale your phone.

Seriously, it makes using your phone a mundane and un-exciting thing. It looks horrible.

It's easier than you think. Delete all the accounts, then the apps. You're done.

If you're a beta pussy that needs to see shitty memes and who's been dating who, then at least use airplane mode.

I've only got Whatsapp on my phone, with every group silenced, a clean phone "home", where no notification shows. I silence people whose messages I don't mind not reading.

My FB I use mainly for messenger and to see events my friends go to and my IG to throw my support (likes) at my friends posting new events in their life.

No one uses Facebook anymore where I live, just for university groups and the like. Instagram is useless if you don't get girls with it, delete it.

away and it just bugs my OCD side seeing that 1 message notification on the screen that I have to ignore.

Silence their conversations, delete things on the homescreen that might show notifications on the app logo.

my city has an ice addict epidemic

What??

or just listen to podcasts if I cant

Or read a book, or listen to music.

Don't quit social media, quit media that helps hypergamy, like facebook, tinder etc. You can use Twitter to keep yourself updated

Just delete the apps.

Fuck the memes.

If you wanna be a lion, stop thinking like a sheep.

Dont worry about what the masses are doing or what everybody else is talking about.

Time to do you now.

Same as with drugs.

You control it, don't let it control you. Put your phone on silent and look when YOU want to or have time.

Phones are designed like games and trigger the same reaction as a slot machine. Notifications trigger a dopamine reaction so you always want another hit. http://sitn.hms.harvard.edu/flash/2018/dopamine-smartphones-battle-time/

Just delete them. For myself personally, the only social media I use, meaning I log in once or twice a week, is LinkedIn.

Deleted Facebook and Instagram a while back.

What FB started out as for me (reuniting with old friends) turned into something unbearable in the end.

Lose it. You won't regret it.

Disable notifications, and avoid using social media during the day when you want to be productive.

Or just go full bore and delete the apps.
