I just catched myself looking at reddit again.

To remind myself not to use reddit in the next few days (or never again if I succeed) I added it to my uBlock filter list. Additionally I deleted all reddit apps from my phone.

What's your strategy on how to avoid reddit?

In /etc/hosts:

In school, the first thing I did on my Arch Linux Laptop is to put google.com to the pornhub ip. Don't know why it should not work on any device.
