All the users scrubbing their comments from reddit with protest messages are doing gods work in making people more upset with reddit over this. Long live the fediverse now I guess.

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I'm not sure why you think you need to avoid Reddit at cost to you finding the information you're after.
If the information you want is on Reddit, why wouldn't you want to read it?
I unfortunately had to use reddit to resolve an issue with angular 😭😭😭
Yeah, I'm definitely going to keep going back to Reddit for tech issues. There's over a decade of information there and it'll take a long time before any alternatives can compare.
It could help to add reddit.com to your hosts file or your ublock origin filter list.
I setup TimeLimit to block the reddit apps for some time. I hope it can help you with the redde-addiction.
If you don't run your own search (SearxNG) and dont use pihole, you can get the uBlacklist extension for chrome/firefox to blacklist Reddit in search results on Google/Bing/DDG/etc.
To deter myself further, I even went so far as to block any search results from Reddit in my SearxNG instance.
If anyone else is interested.
In settings.yml uncomment the following, they are commented out by default
enabled_plugins:
- 'Hostname replace' # see hostname_replace configuration below
hostname_replace:
Then add '(.*\.)?reddit\.com$': false under hostname_replace, restart SearxNG and bobs your uncle.
Yep. Same here. I needed an answer about makemkv audio files. I instinctively clicked 3 different reddit links. Finally got my answer on some other random forum, but I feel like reddit would have been better 🙁
