i recommend installing block site extension in your browser and adding reddit to the list of blocked sites. i did it almost 2 years ago and still sometimes instinctively type reddit.com when opening a new tab… but it’s getting better.

my account got first permabanned without warning or explanation from worldnews sub after i (politely) suggested that maybe blowing up a school full of kids (30 dead) is not the right thing to do even if a terrorist is hiding inside (under an article about case in gaza). then i still sticked around for my hobby subs for a while but the sute kept showing all kinds of other content to my feed. one day there was a picture showing a WW2 nazi flag on someone’s front yard in ohio and people were suggesting they should bring some veterans to talk to them and explain why it is wrong. i said that wouldn’t help and that people like this should be “tarred and feathered” - which was, according to reddit, not acceptable behaviour because “reddit is trying to be a place where everyone can feel safe and me threatening other people is undermining it”. banned and out.
