    If my phone buzzes at any point and I don’t want to see what it shows me, that app loses all notification permissions immediately.

      This is the way.

      Also, there are many apps that can have their notification silenced so it doesn’t ring or show on the lockscreen. I do this even for emails. The phone is checked easily more than 50 times a day, many notifications can sit silently and wait till I next pickup my phone for something else. Ringing should be reserved for things that need immediate attention worth the interruption.

        After the recent news about using push notifications to track your activity, I disabled all notifications.

        All of them.

        I’ll look at my phone when I look at it. If you need something desperately, you’d probably call…

        Not that I’d pick up. But I’d know to check everything else before I decide to text you.

        I’m slowly cutting my phone out of my life. I’ve been hurt too many times and I’m defederating from modern society.
