How are you going to avoid using reddit? (lemmy.ml)

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 added an iOS shortcut automation to my iPhone. If I open Apollo, the shortcut runs and sends me to Mlem, then pops up a reminder.

I’ve exported my posts and comments. Just need to get my subscriptions list and I’m done.

I plan to overwrite my comments and posts with a text that explains why the original is removed. That way, for as long as Reddit survives, there’s a chance someone will see it and learn about how not to screw over your user base.
