I blacklist all news sites, reddit, all social media sites etc. Completely blocked on my device.
I have switched away from using Google as a search engine entirely.
That still wasn't enough, so I ditched the smart phone for a brick phone. So on that I can only message/call and play Tetris.
That still wasn't enough so I also sold my TV.
That still wasn't enough so I also built an internet content blocker extension to further block mentions of certain words/phrases/patterns (think drugs/war/alcohol/gambling/porn/religion/politics etc).
I'm thinking of building an image blocker next, somehow without "AI".
All this + site blacklisting + ad-blockers + no social media + no TV + no news seems to do the trick!
