Hello Fediverse!
I’m happy to announce the Single Purpose Devices community on Lemmy, a place for discussion, sharing of ideas and recommendations about the growing trend of single purpose devices: rather than relying on a smartphone that brings you anxiety and demands attention, how about going back to the days of carrying a MP3 player, a notebook and pen and a beautiful camera?
While people join this movement for a variety of different reasons, from reclaiming digital privacy, to mental health, to evading anti-customer repair policies and malicious software updates, we can all share our own experiences and tips. See you there!
Its funny because I only have a smarphone for when im working but I have found it as a handy camera. So I think it might be worth it as long as you don’t use it for stuff you can do on your laptop. Its like you have to use it minimally. Like not using it for social media or games will cause you to barely use it. or it least it does for me.
