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?
elavat0r ( @elavat0r@mander.xyz ) English25•1 year agoI put the Jerboa app icon where Baconreader had been on my phone. I kept opening it by reflex. This seems to be working.
Narte ( @Narte@lemmy.ml ) English10•1 year agoThis is the way.
I'm Hiding 🇦🇺 ( @i_am_hiding@aussie.zone ) English4•1 year agoPretty much! I still haven’t even deleted Boost, but the icon has been replaced and I’ve already all but forgotten about it.
thepiguy ( @thepiguy@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) English3•1 year agoMe too. Sorry Boost, I will miss you.
Ada ( @ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) English24•1 year agoI deleted my account
psychothumbs ( @psychothumbs@lemmy.world ) English17•1 year agoA simple low impact one I came up with is moving the Jerboa app icon to where the reddit one used to be and moving the reddit one to the end of the list, so my muscle memory reddit log on takes me here instead.
DarkwingDuck ( @darkwing_duck@sh.itjust.works ) English5•1 year agoLiterally did the same.
AlchemicalAgent ( @AlchemicalAgent@mander.xyz ) English1•1 year agoSame here as well. I uninstalled rif and replaced its icon with Jerboa. I don’t even notice the difference until the screen loads 😄
Rick ( @howdy@thesimplecorner.org ) English15•1 year agoIve been here a few days the content is already a lot. Sub to communities. Start a community. Get to commenting, posting or even lurking! Be the change @havilland@lemmy.ml!
whoopingsneeze ( @whoopingsneeze@fedia.io ) 11•1 year agoIn /etc/hosts:
127.0.0.1 reddit.com 127.0.0.1 www.reddit.com 127.0.0.1 old.reddit.com
ReakDuck ( @ReakDuck@lemmy.ml ) 5•1 year agoMake it the pornhub IP
Scrubbles ( @scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech ) 3•1 year agoHmmm will this work on my work laptop too?
ReakDuck ( @ReakDuck@lemmy.ml ) 1•1 year agoIn school, the first thing I did on my Arch Linux Laptop is to put google.com to the pornhub ip. Don’t know why it should not work on any device.
sounddrill ( @sounddrill@lemmy.antemeridiem.xyz ) 2•1 year agoThe ol switcheroo
shinratdr ( @shinratdr@lemmy.ca ) English10•1 year agoOnce 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.
FlowerTree ( @FlowerTree@pawb.social ) English1•1 year agoIf we could implement reddit scrapers (I think stealth for reddit is one of them), it might help us to acess reddit without using the shitty app or even an account. Scrapers aren’t exactly great if you want to post stuff on reddit, not that you would want to…
Sorghum ( @Sorghum@lemmy.ml ) English10•1 year agoPaused rif and moved Jerboa to the spot where it normally is on my launcher
Rick ( @howdy@thesimplecorner.org ) English5•1 year agoI uninstalled RIF this morning. I saw when I commented on it saying that I loved using the app for reddit that I had recently started using… September 2011… Geeeeez. The feels.
Raiden11X ( @Raiden11X@programming.dev ) English3•1 year agorif and Relay were the two I used depending on how I was feeling that day. Excellent apps. Paid for both and I’ll be sad to see them go.
Rick ( @howdy@thesimplecorner.org ) English1•1 year agoAgreed. RIF hands down and several times over was my most used app of all time. It will be missed.
Itsyaboimuf ( @Itsyaboimuf@beehaw.org ) English8•1 year agoUninstalled Apollo and put Mlem in its spot
Communist ( @communist@beehaw.org ) English8•1 year agoi use libredirect
vis4valentine ( @vis4valentine@lemmy.ml ) English1•1 year agoI use libredirect’s firefox extention
ddh ( @DarkDarkHouse@lemmy.sdf.org ) English7•1 year agoI’ve set a privacy redirect from Reddit to https://libreddit.pufe.org. Now I can’t log in, but if people send me links then I can see what they sent. If I want to comment on things, I’ll come to Lemmy.
I logged in to Reddit this morning for perhaps the last time, to extract my list of subreddit subscriptions. While I was there I noticed I had a bunch of “Reddit Coins”, didn’t even know that was a thing. Missed opportunity for “Creddits” IMO.
AllYourSmurf ( @AllYourSmurf@lemmy.ml ) English1•1 year agoThanks for the reminder. I need to get my subscription list. I like the redirect idea too.
steffo ( @steffo@fedia.io ) 7•1 year agoI added
reddit.com
to my uBlock Origin blocklist! 100_kg_90_de_belin ( @100_kg_90_de_belin@feddit.it ) English7•1 year agoI 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.
MiddleWeigh ( @MiddleWeigh@lemmy.world ) English7•1 year agoThe fact that I’m digging lemmy is helping. Feels new and adventurous.
Xune531 ( @Xune531@lemmy.ml ) English6•1 year agoUninstalled Apollo (Christian plz forgive me). Deleted my account.
gylotip ( @gylotip@lemmy.ml ) English2•1 year agoDon’t worry, he feels just as bad as you for all of the evil Reddit has done to all of us.
MonsieurHedge ( @MonsieurHedge@lemmy.ml ) English6•1 year agoThat’s… why I’m here.
