If reddit gets to the point of being frustrating rather than entertaining just teach yourself to turn it off. Heal your addiction.

The best way to cure and addiction is to find a slightly less harmful addiction ala hn ars, econo and ieee

Amen

I reached that point with reddit years ago.

True that. Largely avoid Reddit cause of well... everything. Replaced it with this site and Twitter (occasionally).

Twitter is 10x worse than reddit for astroturfing, political propaganda bots, and blue check clowns. I agree with you for sure that HN is several notches above reddit though

I have been curating and sanitizing my feed, I get cat pics, occasional Marvel stuff, ML stuff and ones from friends, but yeah still if I browse the main feed, vitriol does pop up, though I mute accounts and keywords.

Yea after their blatant disregard for community after the API fiasco, I decided I didn't need to use Reddit anymore.

For a while I just used hacker news. Then I picked up TikTok. It isn't horrible but I sometimes have to be careful because the feed will start to try and feed me stuff that's just brain rot.

Yeah I'm basically cut off from the modern internet because my values don't align with it, as a young person. I can't stomach anything where people are trying to sell something or gain popularity and are insincere. It means im basically just on here, ft comments, and ars sometimes.
