Turning off all notifications has been nice. Instagram can't interrupt me anymore, only when I remember to check the app.

From this perspective the viral loop of social media appears greatly weakened once you turn off notifications, which is probably why instagram started sending me sms message on what I may have missed out in.

Yeah, the Facebook notifications situation is totally out of control - if they can't reach you by push notifications they'll send you ails and texts. I had to delete the app since there are some notifications it is actually impoaaible to turn off.

Discovering https://mbasic.facebook.com has restored my ability to use the little of Facebook on a mobile browser that I need without it entitling itself to further prominence on my attention span. Even keep it wrapped up in a separate web browser, that I go to only to check FB, works great for me.
