    Stop using any sites that require ID.

    Ditto. Also:

    • Try to use Memoji to make fake ID
    • Go to the mall =O
    • Go to the library
    • Go to the brick and mortar places I used to visit before getting everything online (eg. bank, fam owned businesses)
    • Talk to people instead of AI (going to practice that this weekend)
    • Go for a walk outside instead of updating the firmware on treadmill
    • Buy stamps! (and stationery, no more ecards or evites)
    • Learn to plant food in addition to flowers
    • Use iPhone to make phone calls
    • Maybe buy a newspaper… maybe
    • Use my cookbooks more (after I dust them off)
    • Think of a new name/alias(es) for myself and start acting the part

    …just to name a few.

      Don’t use iPhone, use Fairphone with /e/OS or any dump phone, even the old Nokia in your drawer, which for sure still works, and only for calls.

      Use the I2P network

        I’ve been seriously thinking about going back to Nokia. De-googled a few years ago, stopped using iCloud and switched to cross-platform and open-source software.

        Currently, the Murena Fairphone 4 is the only one you can use in the US (Fairphone doesn’t directly deal with US customers) and incompatible with Verizon and AT&T. They recommend T-Mobile for US coverage.

        Also heard about Cape here on a Lemmy post But Fairphone is “not eligible yet”.

        This is the old Nokia 3650 that’s in my drawer. I loved it! Then AT&T made me upgrade because they were no longer supporting the old networks.

        Thank you, Zerush! It’s nice to know that someone else thinks the same way.
