@anon_opin@mastodon.social not even just “afford” a smartphone, i straight up do not want a smartphone. why the hell would i carry around a Distraction Rectangle when i’m fighting tooth and nail against my ADHD?

everything is vying for your attention, the apps are designed to do that

i want my phone to be purely a communications device, and it’s hard to not be tempted by apps that do more than just that. all those little app restriction things don’t work, because it’s extremely easy to just uninstall them
