I quit. It was simple. The fediverse is a great replacement.
I found it really easy to quit Reddit. The trick is to engage in conversation with a maga, say exactly what you think, and let the permaban system do the rest! 😉
I as lucky enough to use Apollo. As soon as it stopped working, Reddit became useless to me.
(Or not useful enough to use their horrendous website, old.reddit website or official app)
Boost just stopped working for me yesterday
That’s what got me back here but then I found out how a custom ReVanced patch could be used to make it work again. The addiction can now continue uninterrupted!
Now I just need the timer for my Lemmy app
Yupp, as soon as i could no longer use RiF, I was done. Trying to mod a small community using the official app was basically impossible.
Yep. The end of RIF and I went cold Turkey. I had already prepared by deleting/overwriting all of my content so leaving was easy. My three accounts combined had truckloads of karma, glad I am not chasing after that bullshit anymore.
i used a extension to delete all my comments and posts.
same boat. it was my favorite app ever and to this day i can’t will myself to delete it. still grieving 💔
voyager is pretty good though
Same but with Infinity. Eternity works the same but uses Lemmy, so that’s what I picked.
I get bad service at my job and the reddit app won’t even load most of the time. I use Voyager with Lemmy and it loads just fine. I think it’s all the ads and trackers that reddit tries to load before the actual content.
I have a timer app for blocking Instagram and it works pretty well—I use ScreenZen
That app actually looks really cool, i think I’ll try it.
The question remains though, is there something to prevent you from disabling the timer when you’ve hit your daily limit?
i never got the hang of using fb, or instagram. only to check up a specfic person, i lose interest the moment it ask you to login.
I will uninstall Reddit so i don’t use it anymore.
We can use the website to use it anyways!
Eh, it’s been less annoying with Tumblr and here.
When they killed off the app I was using, I refused to install their BS.
Web only, especially on my phone was enough to make me stop.
Now I only end up there through search results and that’s only when there’s no other option.
One of the dumbest things they did was remove the mobile sized webpage. I only need to check one subreddit sometimes and I’m never going to install the app.
Pretty simple: start asking controversial questions until you get permabanned.
“Is it really so bad that I hang my toilet paper the other way around?”
Removed. Rule 1. Violence will not be tolerated.
Weird, I just deleted my account, uninstalled the app, and moved to Lemmy with no desire to go back.
Here’s a fun trick to stop using Reddit - simply install and use a VPN.
Just like that, Reddit blocks itself for you!
Read this before you use a bulk utility to delete your reddit comment history.
Comments deleted from reddit aren’t actually erased or removed, they are merely marked as deleted so they don’t appear anymore. The content still exists and can be used by reddit for AI training, marketing or opinion research, or whatever. If you want to truly eliminate all the content you have contributed so they can’t use it anymore, read the docs about a utility and make sure it first Edits each comment and overwrites it with meaningless words before deleting it. Reddit only keeps the most recent version of a comment, so this technique leaves a worthless bunch of garbage in place for AI algorithms to enjoy.
Several years ago I used a Chrome extension. whose name I don’t remember but I think it had “nuke” in the title. There are various browser extensions out there, just be sure to pick one that says it overwrites comments before deleting.
Tried and true: https://github.com/j0be/PowerDeleteSuite
I didn’t know any of this before I deleted my accounts unfortunately, but I think there’s a small win in leaving all of that communist propaganda in their AI training data at least
Just delete the app, trust me
It’s easy. Just be yourself and say whatever the fuck you want instead of trying to adhere to their stupid ass rules.
You’ll get a free ticket out of there in no time.
Here to confirm this method even with being a (small time) mod and having a 15yo account. Hello.
Delete the app 🤷
Delete all your comments and posts so Reddit can’t profit off them, then delete your account.
I finally did this. Took a while because I had to delete each individual comment and post, but it was worth it.
