100%. I love their approach. It harmonizes so much with how I try to think about every new bit of technology and it's served me very well. Some practices it has inspired for me;

- Absolutely NO social media on the phone. Computer only.

- Relatedly: Turned off ALL phone notifications except those that come from real-life human beings who I know personally.

- Paid hosting and perhaps more importantly, email. Self hosting is a pain, but I want the control and reliability. To me, it's an incredibly bad idea in the hands of e.g. Google. I need to be able to talk to a human who can fix things if it breaks.
