When they killed off the app I was using, I refused to install their BS.
Web only, especially on my phone was enough to make me stop.
Now I only end up there through search results and that’s only when there’s no other option.
I quit. It was simple. The fediverse is a great replacement.
I will uninstall Reddit so i don’t use it anymore.
We can use the website to use it anyways!
Weird, I just deleted my account, uninstalled the app, and moved to Lemmy with no desire to go back.
Here’s a fun trick to stop using Reddit - simply install and use a VPN.
Just like that, Reddit blocks itself for you!
It’s an addiction. Don’t tell to go cold turkey. Have an alternative in place and then gradually reduce your timer for Reddit. Look at how much you use each day on average then set the timer for that. So first your getting rid of your high usage days. After a couple of days reduce it by 5 mins. Keep repeating this. Also, trim down the subs you’re subscribed to so there’s less new content showing up.
easiest thing for me was to just… uninstall the app and use it in a browser.
the experience is so terrible, i don’t spend much time on it anymore. seriously, go to reddit.com and see what it looks like with no account and no extensions.
instagram is even worse, once in a while i try to open a funny post someone sends me in the browser, and … it usually works for the first post (after clicking away a bunch of popups) but if i open a second one i get completely blocked. thanks meta 👌
actually the constant flood of trump post made comment less on reddit, i got tired of seeing all the time, and you also have to be extremely careful about commenting on any of sub to begin with.
What’s your alternative? Been meaning to use Lemmy less, but since I started using social media in place of idling/skin picking/bad thoughts when I don’t have the energy to do anything else, that’s what I return to when I put my phone down. (I have adhd)
Oh Lemmy is the alternative, this was just for getting off Reddit lol
Lmao makes sense
We’ll just look at one last thread!
Now we’ll look at one VERY last thread!
Look at all these threads!!
Just delete the app, trust me
It’s easy. Just be yourself and say whatever the fuck you want instead of trying to adhere to their stupid ass rules.
You’ll get a free ticket out of there in no time.
Here to confirm this method even with being a (small time) mod and having a 15yo account. Hello.
Pretty simple: start asking controversial questions until you get permabanned.
“Is it really so bad that I hang my toilet paper the other way around?”
Removed. Rule 1. Violence will not be tolerated.
That would go under “incentivizing violence”, because people want to lynch you.
I have such mixed feelings on it which I hate. I want to cut it fully but it genuinely is a useful trove of information for DIY and things that interest me.
Those can be built here
Delete all your comments and posts so Reddit can’t profit off them, then delete your account.
I finally did this. Took a while because I had to delete each individual comment and post, but it was worth it.
Lmao frog and toad, clearly we have achieved supremacy already
I have a timer app for blocking Instagram and it works pretty well—I use ScreenZen
i never got the hang of using fb, or instagram. only to check up a specfic person, i lose interest the moment it ask you to login.
That app actually looks really cool, i think I’ll try it.
The question remains though, is there something to prevent you from disabling the timer when you’ve hit your daily limit?
ScreenZen shows a “streak” which gives me some motivation to keep at it. I think you can disable it of course. But. I don’t
Eh, it’s been less annoying with Tumblr and here.
