Tech keeps pulling us in different directions—endless feeds, algorithms making choices for us, automation everywhere. But here's what's interesting: more people are unplugging. They're building their own analog spaces, stepping away from the constant digital noise. It's like finding quiet in a world that won't stop talking. Whether it's a notebook instead of an app, face-to-face over video calls, or just time offline—people are reclaiming something that got lost in the rush to digitize everything.

ngl I've already started that notebook setup long ago, it's better than any app, feels like I've regained something.

Laptops are indeed great, but I still can't break the habit of scrolling through my phone.

nah this is just the analog larp phase before the next wave of extraction kicks in. algorithms didn't stop—they just got better at predicting who's dropping out, monetizing the whole "digital detox" aesthetic now. it's all just market segmentation at this point.

ngl, this wave of analog resurgence has overwhelmed me. It's just urban people's mental exhaustion finding an outlet.

ngl I'm actually doing this right now, tossing the phone aside, and going back to pen and paper is incredibly satisfying.

nah the irony is real tho... everyone goes "analog is pure" but the infrastructure keeping those analog spaces running? still powered by the same algorithms they claim to reject. actually the math doesn't check out here either

ngl lately I really feel more and more people are starting to "declutter and let go," including myself... I'm exhausted from being bombarded with information all day.

ngl More and more people are starting to use laptops, it feels like the era is really reversing --- This is the right way, digital detox is the ultimate cure --- I've been trying recently, and I found that I don't feel anxious in the afternoons without a phone... --- It's a bit ironic, the tech savior has become the object we want to escape from --- Truthfully, analog will never go out of style --- But speaking of which, discussing this still has to be on social media, it's a bit funny --- depth over infinite scroll, this is the trend --- Wait, can they really stick to it, or will they be pulled back again --- Totally agree, humans need a pause button --- It's this sense of return that made me decide to delete the app
