The article is broken into three primary sections: - Social media minimalism - Cell data minimalism - Web minimalism What you say is true about the 2nd section, but the comment you are replying to is referencing the 1st section which states, in part: "I did not leave X the platform, but I did leave X the interface. Instead, I have been doing most of my tweeting through Firefly: Firefly is a multi-client that combines together X, BlueSky as well as Farcaster and Lens (both partially-Ethereum-based decentralized social media platforms)." | ||

That experiment also felt more cute than actually minimalist to me. When I decided to take a break from being terminally online, I didn’t turn off the phone feature but leave Wi-Fi on so I could still check my socials on the office Wi-Fi; that wouldn’t have actually done much. I forced my phone off the bulk of the internet by turning off Wi-Fi and disabling cellular data for everything but a few core apps like Messages and Maps. | ||

wifi was still enabled, so internet access remained, and also used a number of wifi hot spots when not at home having a phone with "flip to shhh" (put it face down, notifications are silenced) is really nice | ||
