I stopped using Reddit for a few weeks because of this. I use Reddit almost exclusively on my phone and I don’t need nor want to download a separate web browser just for one site.
But then one day I checked out of habit and I was back in.
But if they want to “ban” me from the site because I visit with my phone’s browser, so be it. Honestly they’d probably be doing me a favor. But I’m not downloading the stupid app.
- data-ottawa 3y agoI've set a screen time limit of 1 minute per day. It's enough to be annoying unless I end up there from a Google search. For the time being I'm just going to reallocate my Reddit time to reading about my hobbies.
- awestroke 3y ago1 minute? Is that a typo?
- nullandvoid 3y agoJust seems like enough time to read any search queries that match on reddit threads each day, but no reason to browse. I just flat block it, but use workarounds when I rarely need to view Google results, may follow this same approach going forward.
- data-ottawa 3y agoNo typo, the other commenter is correct. Screen Time on iOS/macOS lets you override the clock but in a “snooze” style. It blocks me from habitually browsing the front page but lets me land there from search.
- awestroke 3y agoSo you've restricted the reddit domain to 1 minute?
- data-ottawa 3y agoYes, it’s combined between Reddit web, app, and Apollo.
