How are you going to avoid using reddit? (lemmy.ml)

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?

Uninstalled the app, blackholed the domain in my Pi-hole servers, and removed the domain from my web search results on my SearxNG server. I use Wireguard from my phone when out and about, so I'm always usnig Pi-hole and SearxNG.

Yep - great feature. I've been excluding Facebook and the other socials for a while now.

Not avoiding yet, but I just cut my subscribed subreddits by about half. Should reduce my time there.

I unsubscribed to every subreddit that didn’t acknowledged they’d take part of the blackout yesterday. I’ve opened the app once today and was greeted with a “Reddit is killing 3rd party apps (and itself)” post and got reminded to exit the app right away.

Just delete it from your phone

I will, but I have a hard time separating from my Apollo icon it looks superb imo with my background
