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?
Lemmy and RSS feed is all I use. I look at things my wife and 2 others friends will send me on instagram, but I never just scroll through it
When I’m researching something and a reddit link pops up in search results, I’ll check it. But I have abandoned my account and won’t be logging back in. Aside from that, I try to be as hardcore as possible.
I used to use purely Reddit. I stopped after the API nonsense. Now I’m purely on lemmy. I have no interest in any of the others.
I am ip banned from reddit for making ‘threats’ only check reddit as a news aggregate because it’s a little quicker
I’m on Lemmy because Reddit devs are letting their AI auto-ban their more intelligent users. Isn’t that similar to letting Telsa’s auto-drive into an auto-accident?
Before the Reddit Exodus I only used Reddit and YouTube. Social media is a plague. Once I left Reddit I never looked back and now use Lemmy exclusively. I don’t really see it as “hardcore”, it’s just me avoiding the worst and most stressful facet of modern society. I don’t feel like I’m missing anything by not using any other social media.
Mostly Lemmy here. I use it for my doomscrolling and distraction, and for that it’s imho much better than Reddit, since the content is much less fake (I hate all that AITA creative writing and similar crap) and the politics are better.
I do sometimes use Reddit for when I actually have questions about some deeper topic. Lemmy sadly doesn’t have the manpower and the decades of content to help me when I need to know how to overclock a specific 15 yo netbook or when I need help with some issue in a game or something. For that, there’s sadly hardly a way around Reddit. Some things can be (badly) covered by Stack Exchange, some things I can maybe find on DuckDuckGo between heaps of AI slop, or I could let ChatGPT lie to me by hallucinating a wrong answer. But in many cases there is sadly no way around Reddit.
What’s wrong with limiting social media to Lemmy? I like it here.
lemmy exclusively for me! ive been here since i got kicked off of the boost app lol
Til that I’m hardcore
This is it unless you count discord as social media,or twitch?
I only use Lemmy. Not because I’m hardcore about the fediverse or anything, but because I wanted to start moving off all major social media. Now I rarely engage with any social media and I think it’s done wonders for my mental health.
I don’t use social media at all.
I only use lemmy.
I did have a reddit account at one point but it only had a handful of posts, mostly gratitude for solutions to problems I was searching about, with reddit being the top return with the correct answer… Got banned for some reason though, so even if I had interest in using reddit (which I dont),I cant anymore, lol.
I just deleted my Reddit account, it’s no good to me since they banned my account for “Abusing the report button” and wouldn’t unban it no matter how many appeals I sent in. Part of me thought, maybe they’d unban it some day, but… naw… better to just walk away
I hope it goes the way of YTMND and becomes a distant memory. Although with YTMND my memories are at least pleasant.
I just hope someday the “Niche Interest” sublemmies become more active
I still use reddit on Apollo without logging in, guess I’m not hardcore :P
