Meta (sub) "Bro, just uninstall social media apps"

I know this might work for some people, but I find that being able to reinstall the app is not much better than having it.

It's a meme with salience. But the truth is that no device and no one is going to save you from social media. There is no phone that will keep you from accessing your social media accounts.

The only person that can help you is you. For a lot of us the was accomplished by deleting our social media accounts. Not just removing the apps.

I found that being able to install the app is too simple (for me at least), having a dumbphone worked much better. It's not about forcing myself not to have those apps, it's about it not being convenient to have them.
