Recent Reddit-converts, how many times have you "mistakenly" opened Reddit in the past day? (lemmy.one)

My fingers just keep pressing Ctrl+T, r-e-d, enter, before I jolt awake and think "I told myself I would not do this!". I may have a problem.

I keep going back to watch it all fall apart. I'll stop going once the API access is gone and I can't use RIF anymore.

On pc I blocked all Reddit sites on uBlock.

I logged in yesterday to take my sub dark and I've replied to a few comments on a post I made about a week ago looking for help with a router, but I used RiF to reply to the comments, other than that I've been using Lemmy

Dunno, at least 10

I use reddit on desktop and lemmy on mobile. Life is about choice.

I only ever used reddit on my phone, so I just replaced the app icon on my home screen with Jerboa

[–] jeansburger@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

None I put Jerboa in the same spot as my reddit app on my home screen. I used my muscle memory to my advantage.

None yet, replaced the reddit app icon on my home screen with a Lemmy app instead. So, I've "accidentally" used Lemmy 😅

[–] falk1856@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Plenty of times. I exclusively interact with it on my phone with a 3rd party app. As soon as the app stops working, I stop Reddit. I'm not installing the Reddit app. The boycott is kinda a moot point for me.

I was a heavy user and have abandoned it and haven't even accidentally gone back to it. Rip the band aid off as they say

[–] kiwifoxtrot@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I removed the app from my phone and replaced it with Jebora.

[–] _fov@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago

Ha, I am one of those dinosaurs that uses a browser on an actual computer. But I guess I could block the reddit domain to ween myself off of my addiction.

[–] leamaya@feddit.de 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I replaced my Reddit app (boost) on my Homescreen with jerboa so muscle memory will always take me here And to be extra sure I paused the Reddit app so if I try to open it I would get a popup from Android if I am really sure

So to answer the question: since replacing the app on the Homescreen not a single time

[–] MX36@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

I did the same thing with Boost. I also blocked the entire site on my router just to be extra sure.
