I deleted Reddit from my phone, and the mobile site is shite, so I won't be going on there.

I occasionally look at old Reddit on my computer, but I just put Lemmy in it's place on my tab bar. Works great so far.

Not having a mobile app will automatically curtail a lot of my usage. I'll probably keep using the desktop site though until they kill off old Reddit.

Uninstalled the app, blackholed the domain in my Pi-hole servers, and removed the domain from my web search results on my SearxNG server. I use Wireguard from my phone when out and about, so I'm always usnig Pi-hole and SearxNG.

It may just force me. There's no way I'm putting up with the modern official UIs.

I’m ready to block it (with DNS NXDOMAIN) myself but I have others relying on my DNS servers.

I unsubscribed to every subreddit that didn’t acknowledged they’d take part of the blackout yesterday. I’ve opened the app once today and was greeted with a “Reddit is killing 3rd party apps (and itself)” post and got reminded to exit the app right away.

Not avoiding yet, but I just cut my subscribed subreddits by about half. Should reduce my time there.

Reddit has a ton of useful knowledge on it, why would I avoid it? It is not just a platform to doomscroll on... As a social media platform it's as good as dead for me, but it is still a hyper forum with many worthwhile communities.
