I just logged out of my account everywhere, and turned off "remember me". It's shocking how I'm catching myself just reflexively, almost subconsciously alt-tabbing to Firefox and typing "reddit.com". Thanks, /u/spez, for helping me break the habit!

Breaking the muscle memory has been the hardest part for me. I don't have that much investment in Reddit succeeding and I'll be damned if I don't try to tap the app on my phone 3 or 4 times a day still, even after deleting.

  I deleted my account and my 3rd party app and I found myself reflexively tapping the now-empty spot on my home screen 5-10 times yesterday. Today I haven't and only went to the mobile site a couple times to see what's going on with the state of things, but left as soon as the first "Oops, this /r/AskReddit text-only post is NSFW, open in the app!" message came up. I have however visited HN and kbin 5-10x more today.

    I moved the Sync icon to a folder and replaced it with Hack (a hacker news app).

      Good idea, I've followed suit.

    The other poster had it right, I get to HN by typing ne (enter) or n (enter) in my browser address bar.

      I get here by typing hc (I prefer the compact hckrnews layout)

      Oh yeah, me too. Spaced which URL we were talking about.

      I'm silly I guess... It's the first bookmark on my toolbar. <Click> Hacker News

      Yeah same, either "ne" or "news" in address bar depending on how many "ne" things I've visited recently

I treat Reddit now like I do Facebook. Containers in Firefox, accessed only through VPN. It's no longer a reflex - I have to put in at least a little effort to view its content. With pi-hole and ublock origin too.

I don’t know why they didn’t just offer API access at a fair price, it seems like it would have resulted in a better outcome than their current rock and hard place decision between backpedaling and never getting rid of the API awhile unprofitable, or getting rid of it and creating a diggv4 fiasco of the site being used to promote leaving the site.
