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?
Is this considered “hardcore”? After the mobile apps bit the dust I left and never looked back. I don’t like meta stuff because of privacy concerns. Fediverse only for me

I haven’t looked at reddit since whenever they disabled 3rd party apps. I was on kbin for a while but find myself over here now.
Personally I use reddit a lot more than lemmy. My interests aren’t well represented here on lemmy. Still come here sometimes though.
Yeah I’m trying to stick to Lemmy, but all the communities I joined when I signed up turned out to be dead. :/
I switched to Lemmy after Reddit killed bacon reader. Never looked back. joined world and discovered defederation drama. Joined lemm.ee. now I’m on .zip. I don’t want my instance dictating what I see. Even if it is the trifecta.
I use Mastodon also. I occasionally watch YouTube, but I don’t post, and I definitely don’t engage in the comments section.
Have not used Facebook in a decade. Not interested in tiktok or shorts. Occasionally pushed to imgur for the memes.
I do lurk Reddit occasionally (using old.reddit.com only) and silently mod a subreddit that I’m attached to, but I don’t submit posts or make new comments there anymore.
I also lurk Hacker News, Mastodon, Bluesky and Tildes.
Lemmy is my main site where I post the most.
I use Reddit to investigate niche topics. Sometimes I want people’s say instead of these blogs showing top 10 house renting service.
The pure scale of Reddit users makes it more attractive in this regards right now
Most people in here got banned or erased their Reddit account
I’d imagine is a pretty small amount
Lemmy is the only one I check daily. I don’t bother with reddit unless I’m using a search engine and can’t find the answer I’m looking for. Even then, reddit’s not all that great anymore since a huge chunk of the user base deleted all their shit and left.
Yea, it’s getting worse everyday.
Feels like reddit is Altmans bitch, since they made the ai deal
That’s where I’m at. Reddit was the only social media I was using, now it’s just Lemmy. I don’t consider it “hardcore” or some kind of bragging right, I’m just happier without it.
I do Lemmy and blue sky. I have mastodon but don’t go there much anymore.
I watch videos on YouTube if that counts as social media.
Added this to my hosts file 3 years ago when stormfront went full corporate sock puppets and censorship:
127.0.0.1 old.reddit.com
127.0.0.1 www.reddit.com
Used to browse Reddit daily but not anymore. Still use it if I need help troubleshooting something or for some specific piece of information I am looking for.
I bailed on Reddit and uninstalled after they made “Luigi” into hate speech or inciting violence. First off Luigi Mangione is a fucking Saint. Second, fuck Reddit. Lemmy all the way!
Hard disagree, he Is not a Saint and I Hare American Healthcare.
I stopped using Reddit when I switched to Lemmy.
Seconded. But… Sometimes the only place I can find the answer to an obscure issue I’m having is a comment on a nine year old reddit post six responses deep.
I do find it with Kagi, but I still feel dirty every time.
