I deleted the app and nothing happened

I deleted Twitter from my phone two months ago. Not my account, just the app. Told myself I'd check on desktop once a day.

I checked about three times total in two months.

Here's what happened: nothing. My product didn't die. My engagement didn't tank. Nobody noticed I was gone. The world kept moving.

I realized I'd been spending probably an hour a day scrolling. Reading about other people building. Getting jealous.

Getting inspired. Getting anxious. Then feeling like I'd "worked" because I was on a platform where work gets discussed.

The hour I got back went into actual work. And I don't miss it at all. I thought I'd feel disconnected. I feel more connected to my actual product.

Have you ever quit a platform you thought you needed? Did anything bad happen, or did you just get your time back?
