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?

Reddit has a ton of useful knowledge on it, why would I avoid it? It is not just a platform to doomscroll on... As a social media platform it's as good as dead for me, but it is still a hyper forum with many worthwhile communities.

To show your support to the blackout while it lasts?

It's a bit like going to work despite the strike.

Oh I thought OP talked about avoiding reddit in general. I have already visited it at least 3 times today looking for a solution to my laptop's inability to connect to the internet :P I haven't thought of avoiding it to send a message, I guess I will simply turn of the computer. I have already deleted Boost for reddit so I will simply not visit it on my phone...
