Reddit habit is hard to break. (lemmy.ml)

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.

Seriously! I ended up blocking reddit and its subdomains with my pihole so that I'd stop clicking on things from google searches.

Had to do the same, too much of a habit searching through reddit so complete block was neccessary .

I'm not there yet but I'm thinking about it. Deleting Apollo on my phone was half the battle. I try to come here whenever I'm tempted to open Reddit.

I'm kind of surprised there isn't a browser extension to redirect reddit.com to lemmy.ml or something yet lol
