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?

I put the Jerboa app icon where Baconreader had been on my phone. I kept opening it by reflex. This seems to be working.

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.

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.
