Having ancient phones for which is a PITA to use any social apps can also be pretty helpful. I'm still using my iPhone4 (it can still take great pictures), but I cannot longer use Instagram on it (no big loss), WhatsApp stopped functioning about 2 year ago (that was not that good at first but I got used to it) and the FB app is slow as hell. If someone messages me on FB I only conjure up the courage and patience to open FB in my browser after half an hour or so, and only if it looks like it's anything that needed a quick response (from the preview). HN still works and for reddit I need to use the i.reddit.com version, but I visit these 2 websites less and less from my phone (it really drains the battery). I carry a book with me everywhere I go, though, that makes up for me not using the phone anymore.
