I quit. It was simple. The fediverse is a great replacement.
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)
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.
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
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.
Weird, I just deleted my account, uninstalled the app, and moved to Lemmy with no desire to go back.
I was on reddit for well over a decade, and performed a lot of free labour, not just as a mod but putting real thought into posts and comments.
Anyway, I requested all my data so I could have an archive of it, then ran my comments through PowerDeleteSuite a couple of times for good measure, and honestly was shocking how quickly I stopped having feelings for my old account.
I’ve also had no use for the “archive” of posts and comments over the last 10+ years. It just made pulling the plug easier.
You put a ton of thought into a comment nobody notices and then “Exactly!” gets 2000 upvotes.
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! 😉
It’s an addiction. Don’t tell to go cold turkey. Have an alternative in place and then gradually reduce your timer for Reddit. Look at how much you use each day on average then set the timer for that. So first your getting rid of your high usage days. After a couple of days reduce it by 5 mins. Keep repeating this. Also, trim down the subs you’re subscribed to so there’s less new content showing up.
easiest thing for me was to just… uninstall the app and use it in a browser.
the experience is so terrible, i don’t spend much time on it anymore. seriously, go to reddit.com and see what it looks like with no account and no extensions.
instagram is even worse, once in a while i try to open a funny post someone sends me in the browser, and … it usually works for the first post (after clicking away a bunch of popups) but if i open a second one i get completely blocked. thanks meta 👌
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.
Here’s a fun trick to stop using Reddit - simply install and use a VPN.
Just like that, Reddit blocks itself for you!
Lmao frog and toad, clearly we have achieved supremacy already
I will uninstall Reddit so i don’t use it anymore.
We can use the website to use it anyways!
Delete the app 🤷
I have such mixed feelings on it which I hate. I want to cut it fully but it genuinely is a useful trove of information for DIY and things that interest me.
Those can be built here
This to me reads that you have a serious self control issue. If you need to use an app to limit your use of another app, you’ve fucked up. Learn and practice some self control. You don’t need a timer, you don’t need to remove the app or get yourself banned, just stop using it. This is like needing to have your parents tell you to do your homework or something. You are in control of your life. You will feel much more empowered if you do it yourself.
This to me reads that you have a serious self control issue. If you need to use rehab to limit your use of heroin, you’ve fucked up. Learn and practice some self control. You don’t need rehab, you don’t need to stop buying heroin or cut off ties with your dealer, just stop using it. This is like needing to have your parents tell you to do your homework or something. You are in control of your life. You will feel much more empowered if you do it yourself.
Using a website app and being chemically addicted to a strong substance, same thing really if you don’t think about it
This to me reads that you have a serious self control issue. If you need to use therapy to limit your gambling, you’ve fucked up. Learn and practice some self control. You don’t need therapy, you don’t need to stop gambling or cut off ties with your dealer, just stop doing it. This is like needing to have your parents tell you to do your homework or something. You are in control of your life. You will feel much more empowered if you do it yourself.
That’s a shit take with a fuckton of stigma and misinformation behind it, I could argue this all day but I don’t care enough. You are no expert and know nothing more than your vibes and feelings, which of course in 2025 your opinions must have as much value as our facts why not?
My sibling in Christ you’re the one arguing that phone addiction isn’t real
How you came to that conclusion when I calmly explained you are a nincompoop for acting like any addiction is merely a self-control issue that only a weaker man would resort to therapy for?
