I’m addicted to crack, but it’s fine since it’s organic locally-sourced fairtrade crack
How can you be addicted to this small town of a social media😭
Hear me out, I genuinely want to know what someone thinks of this idea.
We have Life Phone 3 coming soon and some good e-ink options.
I have been thinking about one of those e-ink box Palmas and putting a minimalist launcher on it making it my primary work device or get away from the world device.
My Pixel 8 Pro is running GrapheneOS so my primary phone would manage my worldly needs in a private manner while my Boox would handle my get away needs for just the essentials. Reading and browsing nothing more.
I would lock the device down with a child google account and Google’s family link app. This could see screen time prevent launcher changing and unnecessary app downloads my primary phone could manage it under a segmented Google profile in GrapheneOS. I think I would find myself to annoyed to even bother allowing app downloads so I would just install what is felt the phone was necessary for. A basic web browser, minimalist launcher and reading apps, lemmy and maybe Reddit. It would cut downy screentime a lot I think.
it’s Threads.
Message boards arent social media.
I too only think of shit like twitter, tiktok, insta, youtube, etc. to be social media, but drawing the line is difficult. Why aren’t forums social media? What are the qualities (or lack thereof) that define social media and those that don’t?
With social media, you follow people, not topics and people for some batshit insane reason are willing to use their real name and face. With a forum, or in this case link aggregation platform, you follow topics. There is no real incentive or reason to follow an individual on a forum.
I know none if you cunts IRL and I’m going to keep it that way. My Facebook is full of people I hang out with in the flesh.
