Is anyone here so hardcore that they don’t even bother with mainstream social media? If its not on Lemmy or Mastodon it must not be important? Anyone that hardcore?
Til that I’m hardcore
Same
Heey!
Lol right
That’s me! I cut Reddit it when they turned off RIF, and never looked back. I also add -reddit to searches so I don’t give them any traffic
Ditto
Same here. Back before that I was basically only on reddit. Now I’m only on fediverse. One (anti-)social media is more than enough.
Avoiding the shit from enshittification isn’t hardcore, it’s just the normal adult thing to do.
Just Lemmy.
lemmy exclusively for me! ive been here since i got kicked off of the boost app lol
I think my Reddit account still exists, but I haven’t logged in since 3rd party apps stopped working. It took me a bit to find Lemmy, and I’m still not on it was frequently as I was on Reddit.
I deleted my Twitter account when they announced they would be training grok on my tweets. I hadn’t logged into it since Elmu mass-banned a bunch of journalists for retweeting the “Elon’s Jet” account. I decided Mastodon was more likely to not get between me and the journalists I wanted to see microblogs from.
I’m not hardcore. I an still well-entrenched in the Google ecosystem (primarily YT). I still have a Facebook account, and occasionally login to un-tag myself. I use Amazon Pay / Paypal whenever I can, tho I at least stopped paying for Prime when they decided to start putting ads in Prime Video stuff.
In a way, Reddit is helping me move to Lemmy permanently by not letting me post.
Me, too. It wasn’t my decision.
Me, but that’s because Reddit permabanned me on the post- inauguration bloodbath.
In some ways I like Lemmy a lot better for things like politics. It doesn’t have all the puns, trolls, Russian Propaganda Farmers, bots, novelty accounts, etc., so while they are fewer comments, they tend to be more substantial. I can also mostly say what I think without getting suspended.
On the other hand, I miss some of the personal forums, which are far more active on Reddit. I’d like the guitar forums to be more active, but they barely have any posts. Most have weeks or even months between posts, while Reddits have a constant flow, every minute. I keep saying that I’m going to start posting content as often as possible, but I haven’t yet. Maybe I’ll start this week.
I gave up on everything except Reddit in 2017 and gave up on Reddit with the api stuff going on.
So I guess I am that “hardcore”.
I’m such a solipsist, I’m surprised reddit is still relevant to anyone. I certainly come across some posts when searching for tech or product questions, but that’s it.
Although even outside of the fedi, I spend more and more of my time just looking at people’s individual websites and blogs. I’ve got a basically bottomless RSS feed curated by this point, so I don’t even need an aggregator for the scroll – I’ve got my own.
Lemmy and Mastodon now for 4 years. It’s the only social media I regular use. Ok there is a bluesky and nostr account but I visit them once in a month.
I only have lemmy and mastodon. I kept my reddit account for about a year and had to delete my post and reply history three times before it finally disappeared. I then promptly deleted my account. Deleted MySpace around 2010 for fb, fb around 2015 when I went to reddit, then reddit after threatening public ipo.
I deleted my reddit account because spez took the reins in advance of their IPO. I’ve never looked back.
I rock out with my Lemmy out🤘
