How many of you use Lemmy and ONLY use Lemmy vs Reddit?

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?
I never used social media that much and I can't be bothered to hang around on Reddit in addition to Lemmy.

Lemmy + Hackernews + Arstechnica
What more is there to know?
What are those other two

I’m 100% fediverse
No more stockholder / CEO / billionaire / fascist shit for me

I wouldn't consider myself hardcore for it, but yeah I only use Lemmy. Nothing else lol
Used to use reddit until they pulled their bullshit with 3rd party apps.
Edit: another answer made me reconsider what it means to "use" reddit, so yeah if I'm searching for information on Google or something and there's an answer on Reddit I'll read it, but I don't log in or communicate on there at all.
How has Lemmy been for you? How do you resist the call of Reddit on a Dark and stormy night?

wrote last edited by [email protected]I haven't browsed Reddit since the creation of my Lemmy account (~2years ago); though I've wound up viewing a Reddit thread or two via a google search on rare occasion. Beyond those two, the only other 'social media' I've used in at least a decade is Youtube.

I didn't leave Reddit, Reddit disabled the app I used to access it for over 10 years when they disabled API access. Figured they didn't want or need my contributions anymore.

What are those other two
Hackernews is a link-based message board, Ars is a article-based website
Both used to be just tech, but have started being a bit more general or tech-adjacent
Ars has specialist professional journalists, Hackernews links heavily favour tech industry professionals and deep dives

Lemmy obviously is "smaller" so there isn't as much breadth of content, but I like it. I just don't like that the smaller community makes me feel like I'm more likely to be "recognized" over time, I prefer to be "just another voice."
How I resist reddit is easy: fuck spez.

For some reason I don't count youtube as social media - If I went to reddit and read comments without voting that would count, but youtube is just a video delivery platform (and I don't read the comments). Not sure if that's a real distinction I can make

Lemmy and YouTube. That's it. Everything else gives me too much anxiety. At work, if I have to reference something from social media, I ask other people to look it up for me and send me the link.

Been feeling that a lot lately. As of the past couple days I've been exclusively on Lemmy/PieFed

I haven't used Reddit since I made my Lemmy account aside from when it comes up incidentally in conversations or online searches.
Reddit isn't anime friendly and I don't wish to support organizations that feel that way.

That's fair. I think it kind of depends on how much you interact with creators and their communities. (comment sections, comunity posts, live content, etc)

wrote last edited by [email protected]I completely quit reddit in protest after using it for over ten years when it threatened to replace the moderators of a small subreddit I participated in after that subreddit shut down during the API protests. I don't actually care about the API myself (I never used anything other than old reddit) but I thought that reddit had no moral (as opposed to merely legal) right to take over something the mods had built and it merely hosted.
Lemmy is worse, but at least I'm following my principles.

I interact only with Lemmy since I made an account. Before that, I did not interact with anything since the Reddit exodus.

i tried but there's just not enough content here, so I'm primarily lemmy maybe 40% of the time and reddit the other 60%
