Anyone even manage go fix there social media problem let alone porn?

I know how reddit is, used many years ago. Definitely a wise decision delete reddit, that place is filled with too much garbage and a small portion of really useful stuff. Quora i never had an account there however i already have read that same opinion about the toxic community.

Tbvh, reddit is partially a P site aswell, it's a website that allows normal social media stuff like videos or pics about people's lives or random scenarios and at the same time is allowed every kind of P stuff (it involves soft to grose, disturbing, disgusting and extremely hardcore content).

 

I'd recommend using apps like "Stay Free" on your phone and "Cold Turkey" on your computer to block or limit time spent on sites you want to moderate. I've found self moderation is very hard because I easily lose track of time I spend on sites like YouTube or Reddit just doom scrolling and before I know it I just spent an hour+ of time doing nothing.

Some of these apps are paid. I probably spent about $25 on apps to help block my phone usage. Do your research, but I think for $25 which is a a couple Taco Bell orders, it's a wise investment for helping establish life-long habits.

The apps are:

• For phones: https://stayfreeapps.com/
• For desktop: https://getcoldturkey.com/
• If you have an Android, this helps strips your phone to its bare essentials (beware it's ugly on purpose): https://www.minimalistphone.com/

Here's what I did since I still find Reddit and YouTube useful for work and researching niche topics.

StayFree:

• Implemented tamper protection so any time I need to change a setting I have to type out this super long paragraph. This really has deterred me!
• Blocked all "Porn" category sites
• Blocked Facebook, Twitter, and all other "Social Networking" and "Entertainment" sites (note when you do this, it will block some sites you actually don't want to block so I had to go to each site individually and change the category to "uncategorized" because it was marked as Entertainment.)
• Instagram - limit to 3 mins a day
• Reddit - 10 mins a day
• YouTube - 10 mins a day

Cold Turkey:

• Used default built-in "Distractions" block with no breaks and locked with random text - customized to remove Reddit and YouTube
• Reddit - 20 mins a day
• YouTube - 20 mins a day

For both computer and phone:
Use the "Adult Filter" DNS settings from clear browsing: https://cleanbrowsing.org/filters/

This will literally block anything porn related and enforce safe search on Google so you are not accidentally triggered by NSFW search results.

The max I could potentially spend, if I utilized my entire allowance, is 1 hour with desktop + phone usage combined. It was really annoying getting this set up to my specifications at first, but it took about 2 weeks to see noticeable results. Nowadays I hardly ever use my phone for Reddit unless it's to look something up and I barely reach the 10 mins allowance. Today I caught myself mindlessly watching YouTube on my desktop computer and after 20 mins I got blocked. I didn't even realize what I was doing and when I was blocked I was like, "Oh dang, it's been 20 mins already? Crap...I should probably get to doing something productive."

Like I said, self moderating is really hard. It's super easy to lose track of time. Use technology to your advantage and don't let it take control of you!

Best of luck.
