I want a phone where I can’t go on the internet or read the news, just communicate with people I actually know in real life. Is there any way I can make this happen?

    I think I know why but sure

    some combination of “I keep going to websites I hate and getting upset about the things I look at on them” and “Remember when phones were just phones”

      I’m not really a “remember when phones were just phones” guy. I’m more of a Bo Burnum / Richard Stalman style “social media is hijacking our brains” guy.

      I’m addicted to my phone but really appreciate some of its functionalities and want the parts that are useful without the parts that are harming me.
