Social media 📱
...when beige turned black and left the party... It was an usual Friday morning. Exercises, social media, relaxing, scrolling... And then... No new Toots came. The app seemed broken. I tried the web version of the site and I got an error message, informing me a certificate had gotten too old and the site wasn't secure enough to use at the moment. And that day I noticed how much time I spend on Mastodon... Am I addicted? Or is this my kind of lifeline to some form of social connections, as I have little of that in my outdoors life... (if that makes sense...) […]https://cynnisblog.wordpress.com/2025/09/15/social-media-%f0%9f%93%b1/

Should young kids have #smartphones? These parents in Europe linked arms and said no
By JOSEPH WILSON and LAURIE KELLMAN
June 21, 2024BARCELONA, Spain (AP) — "Try saying 'no' when a child asks for a smartphone. What comes after, parents everywhere can attest, begins with some variation of: 'Everyone has one. Why can’t I?'
"But what if no #PreTeen in sight has one — and what if having a smartphone was weird? That’s the endgame of an increasing number of parents across #Europe who are concerned by evidence that smartphone use among young kids jeopardizes their safety and #MentalHealth — and share the conviction that there’s strength in numbers.
"From #Spain to #Britain and #Ireland, parents are flooding WhatsApp and Telegram groups with plans not just to keep smartphones out of schools, but to link arms and refuse to buy young kids the devices before — or even into — their teenage years.
[...]
"'When I started this, I just hoped I would find four other families who thought like me, but it took off and kept growing, growing and growing,' García Permanyer says. 'My goal was to try to join forces with other parents so we could push back the point when smartphones arrive. I said, ‘I am going to try so that my kids are not the only ones who don’t have one.'
"It isn’t just parents. Police and public health experts were sounding the alarm about a spike of violent and pornographic videos being witnessed by children via handheld devices. Spain’s government took note of the momentum and banned smartphones entirely from elementary schools in January. Now they can only be turned on in high school, which starts at age 12, if a teacher deems it necessary for an educational activity.
"'If we adults are addicted to smartphones, how can we give one to a 12-year-old who doesn’t have the ability to handle it?' García Permanyer asks. 'This has gotten away from us. If the Internet were a safe space for children, then it would be fine. But it isn’t.'
"The movement in Britain gained steam this year after the mother of 16-year-old Brianna Ghey, who was killed by two teenagers last year, began demanding that kids under 16 be blocked from accessing social media on smartphones.
"'It feels like we all know (buying smartphones) is a bad decision for our kids, but that the social norm has not yet caught up,' Daisy Greenwell, a Suffolk, England-area mother of three kids under age 10, posted to her Instagram earlier this year. 'What if we could switch the social norm so that in our school, our town, our country, it was an odd choice to make to give your child a smartphone at 11? What if we could hold off until they’re 14, or 16?'"

The only thing that made me get rid of my dumbphone is that it wasn't going to work after 3G was shut down. I may switch back to one again...
The #Dumbphone Boom Is Real
A burgeoning cottage industry caters to beleaguered #smartphone users desperate to escape their screens.By Kyle Chayka
April 10, 2024"Will Stults spent too much time on his iPhone, doom-scrolling the site formerly known as Twitter and tweeting angrily at Elon Musk as if the billionaire would actually notice. Stults’s partner, Daisy Krigbaum, was addicted to Pinterest and YouTube, bingeing videos on her iPhone before going to sleep. Two years ago, they both tried Apple’s Screen Time restriction tool and found it too easy to disable, so the pair decided to trade out their iPhones for more low-tech devices. They’d heard about so-called dumbphones, which lacked the kinds of bells and whistles—a high-resolution screen, an app store, a video camera—that made smartphones so addictive. But they found the process of acquiring one hard to navigate.
"'The information on it was kind of disparate and hard to get to. A lot of people who know the most about dumbphones spend the least time online,' Krigbaum said. A certain irony presented itself: figuring out a way to be less online required aggressive online digging."
