@chris Over the last week I pared mine back a lot, exported lists of follows and followers, locked it down, shared my Mastodon account, and today I removed the apps from my phone.

I decided not to remove the bird accounts completely for now, because some of the people I follow may move to Mastodon or elsewhere later and I’d like to scan for new socials again down the road, but I can sure respect a clean break.

@svenaas @chris + for removing phone apps. I found removing it from my phone was the easiest way to drastically reduce my usage.

Honestly, I would love to remove all social media apps from my phone anyways. The bird app gave me the push I needed.

@jakedolan @svenaas @chris I'm not nuking my account yet, but finally killed my desktop instances of tweetdeck (home and work) where most of the consumption happens. Habits are hard.
