I had this issue with another website (a reddit clone). I tried blocking it on the host, on the router etc. and always found a way to go there. That was a moment I realized that was a sick addiction and not fun anymore.

So I started taking an eye on myself, and whenever I went there I closed the browser and reprimended myself vocally (I said: you went there again. Do not go there anymore.)

After some time I stopped typing the address, I stopped choosing it from the browser hints, I stopped choosing it from the search results.

That was hard, but worked. Even today I do not go there, as the addiction may return (I saw that on myself in the past).

Good luck and... goodbye!
