I'm considering filtering reddit out using Portmaster since I use Portmaster anyway.

What I find frustrating is that on iOS, the system put my Ice (Mastodon) icon into a Social folder but my Narwhal app was placed in Information and Reading! So my muscle memory has me tapping an icon in a different folder and I can't move Ice to where I want it. I'm trying to train myself to use the PWA links on my Home Screen for sh.itjust.works and kbin.social but it's a struggle.
Edit: just to be clear, I've never understood why Narwhal was put in the Information folder instead of Social.
Yeah, I keep starting to type "reddit.com" into my browser address bar. Luckily "feddit.de" isn't too far off.
this is already so much like reddit of old, im cool with it. if it comes up in a search thats fine, might port the data though!
i have successfully made it a whole 12 hours without opening reddit. i've chewed a lot of gum and also been to the gym. i think i can do it.
ChatGPT can be a handy way to get certain information as well.
It can be. It just also can be a handy way to get pure misinformation really convincingly. (I guess that's still not that different than Reddit lol)
It was allegedly trained on reddit for cheap too!

I always first search for a thing, look through the first ~10 results, don't find what I'm looking for, then go back to the search bar and append "reddit" and usually find the info I need right away almost every time. Going to be hard to break that habit and come up with better ways to pinpoint what I need. Or maybe I'll move all my questions to chatgpt and do what it tells me to do 🤡
Same. When searching I had a shortcut on my keyboard for site:Reddit. com
I'm not sure why you think you need to avoid Reddit at cost to you finding the information you're after.
If the information you want is on Reddit, why wouldn't you want to read it?
Has anyone had any luck with using the wayback machine as an alternative? It may not work on more recent posts, but it should be a viable option for protesting subreddits and routing traffic away from Reddit.
I wonder how difficult it would be to make an extension that handled the redirection.
For me, once Apollo officially stops working I won't have any ingrained habit for reaching out to reddit. I stopped using the website years ago except for reading search results that point there.
I disabled the Infinity app on my phone, so even if i click out of habit it stops me
