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 put the Jerboa app icon where Baconreader had been on my phone. I kept opening it by reflex. This seems to be working.

This is the way.

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

Me too. Sorry Boost, I will miss you.
