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.

    I have set a 0 minute timer on Boost and Infinity, so I can’t navigate to reddit. On the first day of blackout I had to open reddit to try and find the name for lemmy, squabbles and raddle so I had some alternatives as I couldn’t remember them!

    I have opened and closed youtube way too many times. It’s been tough. I even went to 4chan after many year last night. A real blast from the past.

    Full relapse yesterday.

    I’m hoping to do better today.

    We so need a RedditsAnonymous!

    -edit- I said on the first day I went to reddit… but it’s only been one day!! wow. that’s embarrassing lol
