A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I went searching for something today and instinctually clicked on a reddit link. Fortunately the sub was dark for the protest anyway, but it's crazy how ingrained in me it is to go to reddit for everything.

Unfortunately now we're going to have to get used to clicking on those clickbait tech articles like "TOP 10 FACEBOOK ALTERNATIVES 2023" to find information, and weed out the crappy blogs.

Has anyone had any luck with using the wayback machine as an alternative? It may not work on more recent posts, but it should be a viable option for protesting subreddits and routing traffic away from Reddit.

I wonder how difficult it would be to make an extension that handled the redirection.

I’m about ready to block it on my home network with openDNS just to really help break that habit. Anyone know if there’s an extension to always add “-Reddit.com” to the end of searches online?

I ended up blocking it with NextDNS for this exact scenario. I knew I couldn't trust my muscle memory to not end up on Reddit.

For me, once Apollo officially stops working I won't have any ingrained habit for reaching out to reddit. I stopped using the website years ago except for reading search results that point there.

In soviet Russia, Reddit habbit breaks you.
