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.
It could help to add reddit.com to your hosts file or your ublock origin filter list.
Yeah, I keep starting to type “reddit.com” into my browser address bar. Luckily “feddit.de” isn’t too far off.
Muscle memory is also hard to break. I had to remove Apollo from my homescreen :D
I know the feeling. I had to put it in a folder “Do not use”. It’s like the first rhing I check in the morning. This lemmy thing has potential. I miss Apollo so much though. Jesus if Christian ported Apollo to use a lemmy backend I’m not sure I’d even notice it wasn’t Reddit. 😀
Same. When searching I had a shortcut on my keyboard for site:Reddit. com
ChatGPT can be a handy way to get certain information as well.
You need to be careful what info from ChatGPT you can trust. It has only trained on data up to a certain date, and is known to just make stuff up. Don’t rely on it for anything critical
