⭐I deleted the app off my phone, but I’m logged in on browser and I check stories and messages there.
But I kinda love not having IG with me wherever I go. It quells the urge to post everything for validation or to prove I’m having fun/looking hot.
I also don’t get the crazy ads on browser, and I don’t get sucked into the insanity of the explore page (which is exclusively weight-loss content somehow) because on browser, search and discover are different buttons.
A lot of 2025 for me has been treating my Poster’s Disease. I nuked my Twitter/X account, and only use Bluesky (took that app off my phone too). I’ll download the Instagram app like once a week to share some work and things to stories, but I feel 10000x more sane not scrolling the app on my phone all the time. I’ll check Reddit or Substack apps if I need a lil scroll action.
Read, write, be present with your friends. Take back your attention in anyway you can!

📲sometimes the things that the internet offers you feel like they’re poking an open wound and you need to delete Instagram for 10-24 hours. this app has helped me do that bc for better or worse… I need to be Scrolling On Phone and this is much more calm

🔌i recently began to ask myself why am i using all these apps and do i really need all of them, and i started realizing that the things i’ll miss out with these apps is so much more than without them, i knew i had the idea that my worth was tied to my online presence and i’m happy that i’m getting rid of that mentality.. i had so many memories in my snapchat account but i ended up deleting the account and the app because if i didn't do it than i may never, later that day i removed my twitter accounts and the app from my phone and i’m so glad i did, and i replaced them with healthier and less time consuming apps till i decrease my screen time gradually

ps. pregnancy and labor and delivery physically went very smoothly for me. i had freaky ppd the first time around but so far this time is just overwhelmingly wonderful?? results may vary.
