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.

Pretty much! I still haven’t even deleted Boost, but the icon has been replaced and I’ve already all but forgotten about it.

In 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.

A 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.

Same here as well. I uninstalled rif and replaced its icon with Jerboa. I don’t even notice the difference until the screen loads πŸ˜„
