HII! Since its 2026(2006 for me lol.) already I decided ill actually follow through my plans to live a 2000s analog life. I will be updating my journey every week on here!
I know so fucking well that getting off of my smartphone and discarding all the social media will be SO FUCKING HARD:((( because as we all know social media is programmed to get you addictied, especially tiktok...
Im VERY sick of going to check my screentime and seeing 10 hours almost everyday. I will slowly but surely, step by step be starting to leave my phone more & more and switch to singe purpose devices. The physical media I own is:cd & cassette player,ipod,walkman and im getting a vinly player soon. I also need to get a flipphone for calls and messages. Im sick of social media consuming my life, everything feels overwhelming and SO VERY PERFORMATIVE!!! I mean the moment i switched from spotify to ipod my first thought was: "But what ab my spotify wrapped everyone will think its horrible." And that thought alone made me realize i need to go from social media because itll make me do things for me and because i love them, not because i want others to see and approve of my taste.
I hope my going analog journey will work out! Ill update next week!

hey i also think of 2026 as 2006 just like how ive been doing since 2023
and let me tell you, quitting social media will be the best thing you ever did
i personally got me a fliphone and stayed with it for some long time, all my addiction for social media vaporised
and then i got my smartphone back but i removed every social media apps and used it as how id use a fliphone
i even tried getting tiktok to see how it was, and i hated it more than anything.
then deleted it again cause it sucks.
and now im living the time of my life.
i do everything i like without interuptions.
gaming, modding, reading, watching, learning stuff, everything i love doing anything since im pretty much not tied to my phone.
and i replicate the 2000's by doing something every year
in 2024 i modded my ps2 slim (slims were released in 2004)
and in 2025 i got me an xbox 360 (2005)
and this year im planning to also save for a guitar and a but probably gonna get the ps3 first then the guitar (ps3's were released 2006)
so yes quitting social media is the best thing ever. and not just forcing yourself to get away.
its about finding yourself hating it without knwoing you actually do, espically that bastard tiktok
Im glad it worked out for you!! Also thank you for telling me this it gives me motivation to keep up w the analog plan:D

yeah trust me itll work, socializing on the internet is also kinda the meaning of the whole going on the internet thing, and spacehey is the place to do so, not instagram, not snapchat, just simple good ol' spacehey

Nice one dude. I've always wanted to go analog but the idea of leaving my friends behind is enough to keep me tethered to social media. I still wish you the best of luck though!
You dont need to leave your friends if you go analog! The whole point of analog is having a slower life and socializing more irl, but you could text and call firends from a flip phone, theres some that allow facetime too.
