I deleted Apollo off my phone which curbed my Reddit habit.
The thing that I’ve been struggling with is how often Reddit comes up in Google search results. I know, you can remove Reddit from search, I just always forget. It’s muscle memory to just click and read.
Don't remove reddit from search results, there's still lots of useful stuff there, just use the cached version instead of giving them traffic.
Specifically, when I google stuff about how kbin works, I see the only answers are on Reddit and then I'm in a real pickle.
I've decided to only interact with Reddit for work, and so it might happen once a day now. I've started to use the Libredirect Addon to only view Reddit in a limited and tracker free experience: LibreRedirect - Firefox Addon. Before the API announcements i visited like 20 times a day at a minimum.
On my phone i've not been to Reddit since the blackout. It pains me to say, but i've deleted Sync for Reddit from my phone since that day. Great app, terrible admins. No plans to return to my accounts.
Edit: @[email protected] also has a great suggestion btw. Use the cached version from Google or something like Archive.is. There probably are addons for this kind of use by now. Everything to give them as little revenue as possible, if i'm kind of forced to find an answer to some technical question.
