Instagram, TikTok, X, the feeds engineered to be black holes. The best way to tame them is not to wall them off. It is to catch the moment.
Most people do not want to quit social media. They want to stop losing an hour to it without meaning to. A hard block is all-or-nothing and usually gets switched off. The better approach keeps your apps but removes the autopilot, a beat of friction the moment you open the feed, and a better place for your attention to land.
