Good news, medical science has discovered this great ~~hack~~ technique to ween yourself off Reddit successfully!

So far it's had 100% success rate in all patients (me) who've had the treatment and you can do it easily in your own home too. The treatment is based on the Ludovico Technique where if you try to interact with Reddit in any way your body and mind will completely reject it.

The steps are as follows:

  1. Uninstall Reddit Enhancement Suite from your browser
  2. Set Reddit to Light mode if it isn't already

That's it!

The blinding white interface will readily induce extreme nausea and quickly train your eyes and brain to reject Reddit from your life. Furthermore, the lack of decent functionality and the tags you've given to obvious trolls and shills will make you want to jump out of the nearest window. It's fantastic.

Also, if you decide after a few days you can push though the pain: don't worry. After the detox period, the post quality between Lemmy and Reddit becomes self-evident. The click bait "engagement" content you were slowly introduced to will smack you over the head like a moist trout. Your eyes will assuredly be ready to explode from the light by that stage too and the pain of it all can only be relieved by deleting the Reddit bookmark from your browser.

All in all it's a great technique and I wish you luck in your journey of staying sober too.

My plan is to let Apollo kick me out, then place Memmy in the spot it used to occupy. Let the muscle memory work for me

This is also a fantastic discovery and the medical profession of addicted internet shitposters thanks you for your contribution to science.

That's what I did! Put the kbin "app" in the same spot 'rif is fun' app used to be in.
