I went searching for something today and instinctually clicked on a reddit link. Fortunately the sub was dark for the protest anyway, but it’s crazy how ingrained in me it is to go to reddit for everything.

Unfortunately now we’re going to have to get used to clicking on those clickbait tech articles like “TOP 10 FACEBOOK ALTERNATIVES 2023” to find information, and weed out the crappy blogs.

I keep opening Relay today and immediately quitting. Anyone use an app for this? Maybe just need to replace the app location with a new app.

This app looks so good to be honest, already feel smoother than Reddit BS app.

That’s exactly what I did. I moved my reddit app elsewhere and put Jerboa in its place. Now when I instinctually click, I get confused for a minute as I look at Lemmy and then sigh in relief and start browsing lol. Brains take so much work to adjust to change.

I made a folder with reddit and Mlem, the Apple Lemmy client, so everytime I want to use reddit I click on the folder and see Lemmy as an alternative.

I deleted the RIF icon from my main phone screen so I wouldn’t instinctively click on it. That void feels real weird.

I deleted RIF from its spot after 11 years and put Jerboa in the spot. Those are big shoes to fill.
