I just catched myself looking at reddit again.
To remind myself not to use reddit in the next few days (or never again if I succeed) I added it to my uBlock filter list. Additionally I deleted all reddit apps from my phone.
What’s your strategy on how to avoid reddit?
You must log in or register to comment.
Once Apollo is gone for good, I’ll delete the app and that’ll be it. Reddit has too much useful info for me to block it entirely similar to Twitter. But also like Twitter, once the app is gone from my phone my usage pretty much drops to zero. I’ve already replaced Apollo with Mlem on my homepage, but I’m leaving Apollo installed until the end.
i use libredirect
Paused rif and moved Jerboa to the spot where it normally is on my launcher
I uninstalled Sync for Reddit on my Android phone.
I’m going to backup the content I created over the years and fry my account in the afternoon.
I uninstalled RIF tonight and keep finding myself searching for it on my home screen lol Will get used to it eventually I guess. I’m opening Jerboa every time I catch myself to retrain myself.
Uninstalled Apollo (Christian plz forgive me). Deleted my account.
Don’t worry, he feels just as bad as you for all of the evil Reddit has done to all of us.
Reddit has a ton of useful knowledge on it, why would I avoid it? It is not just a platform to doomscroll on… As a social media platform it’s as good as dead for me, but it is still a hyper forum with many worthwhile communities.
Uninstalled Apollo and put Mlem in its spot
I’m just slowly lessening the amount I read there and try to read here instead
I added an iOS shortcut automation to my iPhone. If I open Apollo, the shortcut runs and sends me to Mlem, then pops up a reminder.
I’ve exported my posts and comments. Just need to get my subscriptions list and I’m done.
I plan to overwrite my comments and posts with a text that explains why the original is removed. That way, for as long as Reddit survives, there’s a chance someone will see it and learn about how not to screw over your user base.
I might just dump it altogether, I only lurk anyway and the communities I subscribe to are mainly for humor. I haven’t checked it in several days now.
That’s… why I’m here.
I just deleted/hid the Apollo app and put Mlem in the same spot in my app list. Now when my muscle memory goes to open up Reddit, I’m on lemmy instead
Made a redirect command in Redirector on Chrome, moved Relay off screen and set the Lemmy Chrome “app” where Relay used to be.
Got a slight headstart before the Blackout and Lemmy is already really growing on me
