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?

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
What's on your RSS feed? Isn't RSS dying?
-
Me. I got banned for saying I wished MTG would trip and swallow her own head- apparently this was inciting violence. I appealed twice, then gave up. Also killing off Apollo pretty much soured me, and then everything went total bot farm bullshit. So, lemmy for me from now on!
What a glorious visual

I still use reddit on Apollo without logging in, guess I’m not hardcore
-
Just started using Lemmy. I’m getting used to it and like it for a lot of things but there’s literally no sports communities which I used Reddit for a lot so I don’t think I can completely stop using Reddit.
Mastodon is where most of the sports content is
-
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.
Same. I've used reddit.... twice(?) since April. I only click a reddit link if I have to.

I thought they killed those aps

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'm banned from Reddit for "abusing the report button"
Apparently when you're in an argument and the other person is using personal attacks, that's NOT the time to use the report button. Just deleted the account, it was banned anyway.
-
In a way, Reddit is helping me move to Lemmy permanently by not letting me post.
The more I see other people who were banned from Reddit for no reason, the better I feel about my own banning.
Yeah apparently reporting people for transphobia is "Abusing the Report Button"

wrote last edited by [email protected]I don't use social media at all.
As far as Reddit/Lemmy, 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 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.

This is it unless you count discord as social media,or twitch?
-
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.
I do miss reddit, mainly because the Sonic, DBD, and other niche interest boards aren't active on Lemmy
-
Til that I'm hardcore
Me too apparently...
Lemmy
Reddit
Facebook
Twitter/ X
Instagram
Snapchat
TikTok
Discord
...All others... -

I was confused because I thought you meant Magic The Gathering's head.
Yeah I appealed countless times for my offense. I "abused the report button", apparently when you're in an argument and the other party has resorted to personal attacks, that's not the time to push the report button.
Who gives a PERMA BAN for something like that?
-
I can't use Reddit because I got permabanned across all accounts a while back because I was criticizing a video of a drunk white guy making unwanted advances towards an Asian woman in a restaurant.
Also got banned for criticizing Israel's genocide of Palestinians.
Also caught a ban for being too critical about Indians and their rape culture.
Wow I only got banned on one account.
Make sure you delete the banned accounts or Reddit will just keep spamming you with emails.

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 got banned from reddit for saying I should be allowed to punch nazis and my appeal was declined in minutes. This has led me to the conclusion that Reddit is pro nazi and ban evasion is a lot of work.
I do still peep at it because ngl Lemmy doesn't have that endless stream of content going.
At least your appeal was declined, when I appealed my "Abuse of Report Button", they never even responded.

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.
