doomscrolling is gonna become the death of me

i made sure 2 leave twitter because it was getting so bad when i was like 14, and stayed far away from tiktok when it appeared, but now with instagram trying SO damn hard to compete with every single other social media app as well as meta puppeteering it with its grubby little fingers and terrible ui decisions i'm losing like 6 hours a day to this ONE app. insane.

n then looking over 2 how other apps work so poorly (spotify) or how impossible it is 2 own anything despite paying money for it (subscription services for too many different licenses for different things) and how im always hit with decision fatigue on spotify n youtube it feels like i dont rlly engage with my hobbies or my own opinions or thoughts on things nearly as much which rlly sucks :c

im thinking of making a switch 2 dumbifying my phone into separate single use-case things (like how this guy did: https://youtu.be/_L-WUrZ7tJM?si=YR2LRYjlIQSpPhwK). might make me feel better while staying informed about the world i live in @ a slower, healthier pace.

BAHH i need to like. make a list or sumn 2 organise my thoughts and what specifically im looking 4. its just gonna b difficult w so many ppl that i talk 2 irl that will still be scrolling away.
