I stopped using reddit apps or having an account years ago. Now I just go to reddit.com and scrolllll like its slowly pushing down a syringe full of undifferentiated "information" into my eyes. Honestly hexbear feels similar because I've just seen it all before, the users are actually good but it kind of still becomes just thick content paste I'm barely thinking about except gradually I'm more lathargic and depressed, weighed down by the misery of other people and my own hopelessness.
Tbh it might be easier to have an account and limit what you see directly.
If you're using a web browser, I've had good success with leechblock. I like that I can still access the sites if I'm bored but they're otherwise inaccessable.
I guess I could get a new browser and not use vanadium, its kind of annoying that the graphineos default browser can't be deleted and can't use plugins
