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.

A suggestion I've seen is to add reddit.com to your ublock origin "my filters" page. It works great for me!

I made sure to pause RIF so I don't just blindly click on it.
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 🙁
Anyone have a good regex to add to my pi-hole to block reddit?
There is a lot of helpful information there. I hope that some of that can stay as search indexing on archive sites is difficult.
All that said, I just deleted my accounts I had with them. If I use it, it will be without being logged in and only the odd search for something I need.
And hopefully, improvements to platforms like Lemmy grow to where I can search for what I need there or find the best community to ask a question in a few seconds rather than 5-10 minutes. No hate, just where the platform is at right now with the influx.
I always first search for a thing, look through the first ~10 results, don't find what I'm looking for, then go back to the search bar and append "reddit" and usually find the info I need right away almost every time. Going to be hard to break that habit and come up with better ways to pinpoint what I need. Or maybe I'll move all my questions to chatgpt and do what it tells me to do 🤡
I’ve already opened and quickly closed Apollo a dozen times today. Time to break the habit. Going to start reading instead of doom scrolling.
I wouldn't feel too bad about still using reddit as a reference. There's a lot of useful articles built up on it over the years. Though, if you want to avoid driving traffic to the site (or the subreddit is dark) you can always pop a link into the internet archive. That's what I've been doing to view resources on /r/learnJapanese.
