I prefer limiting social media by changing my mindset. I find good things to do and look at, and refuse to be served up by algorithms.

For Facebook, I made my bookmark shortcut lead directly to my own profile/feed. (I have to use it, it's a staple for my business in my country, unfortunately.) I don't watch other feeds, ever. Occasionally I answer messages from friends.

I never got into using twitter, perhaps for the best. I find it hard to invest in platforms that are huge conglomerates of people.

The only "doom-scrolly" thing I have left is reddit. So I've completely curated it with small subreddits highly focused on the skills and interests I want to develop, and things that cheer me up and I want to see. I never look out. It can still be a productivity drain, but it's nice.

People should be more adamant about making technology serve their needs, and customizing it so it does. This should be a mindset foundation.

Unfortunately since 3rd party reddit clients are not an option anymore, you don't have a choice to limit your attention to the subreddits you want to see

Of course I do. I don't use Reddit on the phone, only on desktop. Phone is for reading ebooks, using maps when outside, and quickly searching for something in the browser.
