I hear you about amygdala-bait. Back when reddit had third party clients, I used RIF and it let you block subreddits from showing up in /r/all, and so I blocked hundreds of subreddits. Anything that seemed focused on ragebait got blocked.
Made reddit's /r/all mostly about interesting new things or funny memes.
When reddit banned third party clients, I logged out and have never logged back in. I don't really miss it, even if it means I spend more time here or on fark. That was my last major social media site account, and I don't miss it at all.
- bloopernova 2y agoYeah RiF was great software, it was asinine how we couldn't just buy a reddit API token. My blocklist was several hundred subreddits long too :)
- phatfish 2y agoI also unhooked from Reddit when the API changes killed the 3rd party apps. Was a helpful motivator. Only use it now when it comes up while searching.
- j_bum 2y agoAgreed. RIP Apollo. But I’m the better for it. HN is my only active social media account.
