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.



I 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.


Agreed. RIP Apollo. But I’m the better for it. HN is my only active social media account.


Yeah 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 :)
