Can we start some viral alliteration to get people off Facebook for a few weeks? Or maybe get them more mindful of their social media consumption?

Make Memories Matter May?

Just Journal June?

Just Jibe July?

Authentic August?

Send Stamps September?

Offline October?

No Negativity November?

How about Analogue August or Stop Scrolling September?

I'll also say, Offline October is pretty dang good.

I'd vote for Anal August for sure!

legit offline October is great, and works as a grassroots movement. I’m having an “offline October” is akin to when my friends and I do Dry July. I’m going to start doing this (despite the fact that I haven’t used social media in 2 years)

Gotta spin the news so it makes it more appealing. Good way to spin the headline is it "reboots your bullshit detector".

Has to be fully grassroots though. I don't think many influencers will promote it, they're the most addicted and it's literally their livelihood.

There's something on the tip of my tongue. Something like ____ Zuck. Something that rhymes, and expresses how I feel about him and his platform. I just can't quite put my finger on it...
