We’ll just look at one last thread!
Now we’ll look at one VERY last thread!
Look at all these threads!!
I have a timer app for blocking Instagram and it works pretty well—I use ScreenZen
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.
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 will uninstall Reddit so i don’t use it anymore.
We can use the website to use it anyways!
I quit Reddit when they shut off access to the app I used. The actual Reddit app isn’t usable so it was incredibly easy to quit.
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.
I quit. It was simple. The fediverse is a great replacement.
Here’s a fun trick to stop using Reddit - simply install and use a VPN.
Just like that, Reddit blocks itself for you!
Just delete the app, trust me
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.
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.
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
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
