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’m not really concerned about avoiding it. Most of the subreddits with content I’d want to read are or will be closed. I only am using the old site, logged out, and with an adblocker. I’m a negative value visitor.

      I am similar, I do have an account of 8+ years, but posted only maybe 25 times, hardly ever comment. I also use the old site. I only consume content for entertainment and news, and a few hobbies. Since I don’t post often, I would also be a negative value to them.

      I can easily find my news directly from the publishers, and entertainment can be changed to something else such as TV shows and movies, or even more educational material, as for hobbies it was only for games and RC cars.
