Dumbphones

Smartphones dominate the world. But have we become smarter by using them?

This community is oriented for people who prefer either so-called "dumbphones" or "feature phones" in order to regain control of their life.

Here is a very simple set of rules to follow:

  1. Don't be rude to others.
  2. Don't harass or shame somebody for not being hardcore dumbphones fan. Everybody does it his own way.
  3. Keep this community simple: discussions must be dumbphone or smartphone-oriented, not about dogs or food.

All in all, enjoy your time here :D

A flip phone with the apps you need: WhatsApp, Signal, Telegram. Music, podcasts, maps, rideshare, a great camera for the moments worth keeping. Oh, and of course it can emulate a Commodore 64, with a few carefully chosen Commodore games and SID chip ringtones, because how could we not?

A modern phone with none of the apps that make you anxious: ads, algorithms, feeds, a browser, a bottomless inbox, or the office chat that follows you home. Was any of that truly for you anyway?
