At the beginning of April, I fully deactivated my IG account and took the break. This week I reactivated only for comedy performance stuff, but it's off of my phone and it's only on my work computer, desktop edition. GAME CHANGER. If we MUST stay on it, I highly recommend keeping it on desktop only.

@MOTLEYSHREW 100%! i limited my time so that i get a whopping 25 minutes of it on my phone per day and i literally don’t doomscroll at all anymore which is something i thought i could never achieve so effortlessly. desktop is too annoying to scroll on so thats perf lol

@A1YSSA Same! The way that I thought I was too locked into the doomscroll (which I was, I needed to quit cold turkey to give my brain a chance to reset), it feels so good to not do it anymore. Also congrats on ditching the doomscroll, as well!

bye bye

I've been trying to leave instagram for years. Rather for me it's a question of addiction. Especially because of my obsession with reels. But instagram remains for me the easiest way and to expand my creative reach. I've started photography as of last year and have gotten stupidly invested. And I'd never be where I am now without specifically using instagram. What ive done to limit instagram is simply to have a friend put a parental control on my phone with a limit of 45min a day. Works pretty well.

Deleting instagram, even if it’s just for a little while.

i’m definitely not the first person here to make a rec about this, but my tired brain is truly rejoicing. i have a very hard time completely leaving it since i communicate and share creative work through the app, but i think i’ve decided i will only be on it once a week or when i need/want to post. that’s all. as an already anxious person, seeing the same anxiety-inducing general information (as in something i could easily find on google or a news app) be reposted by 20+ people on their stories has become HELL, especially these last few weeks. not only that, but the constant push of personal opinions about such matters (even if i agree with them) just seems to warp your perception of people. maybe i’m just a wimp, but i don’t think humans were meant to see each other in such a way; we’re not so flashy and impulsive face to face. add the endless scrolling onto that, and it’s downright exhausting and kills productivity. there is so much more dimension and depth to humans and life than what is said or done or seen through this screen. can we please go back to flip phones?
