I'm making my first post here on Leminal Space because I hear it's a better alternative to Reddit. One that's more privacy-oriented, less rage-baity, and less pro-corporate.

About 9 months ago, I made the switch from a smartphone to a flip phone, and boy did it make my life so much better. I've become less dependent on technology, and I've become more self-sufficent. Printing maps with MapQuest and MyOSMmatic have been quite a lot of fun. And I also feel smarter because "Googling things" have become much more inconvenient.

Carrying a notebook with me has also allowed me to draw more, and I also feel less distracted. Anyone else switched to a flip phone? If so, what are your ways to manage life without a smart phone?

My thing is, a dumb phone has the features I would like to do without on my smart phone. Telephone and SMS ARE THE GODDAMN PROBLEM. If people who were not explicitly whitelisted by me out of band had no method of contacting me, that'd be great.
