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 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.

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?

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 overwrote and deleted all posts/comments and deleted my account and two factor and the fucking bastards ressurected it to it's former state. Now that my 2FA is gone, the account can not be accessed to redelete. Fuck Reddit.

Lemmy is just too shitty. It takes a lot of skill to be shittier than Reddit. I wish someone would bring back something like Digg v3. Nobody even remembers it, but it was fantastic. It encouraged civility without moderators. All I could find is 3 screenshots.

What's on your RSS feed? Isn't RSS dying?
wrote last edited by [email protected]I use it for news, but I mostly see enough news on Lemmy that I don't have to use it often. I just check it occasionally to see if there's anything different and to help balance my personal bias a hair
RSS seems to have been dying forever, but still persists. I just use a search engine to find the RSS feed, cause it's sometimes impossible to find on the website itself
Edit: and also, I use the "Feeder" app to aggregate the RSS feeds

I left Reddit at the start of the APIocalypse. Lemmy is the only social media I use unless you count Youtube which I watch through Newpipe and Smarttube. Tried Mastodon but its not for me.

I am ip banned from reddit for making 'threats' only check reddit as a news aggregate because it's a little quicker
I earned my IP ban by knowing what the posse comitatus act is.

I've been off reddit for years before Lemmy. I do have an Instagram account, logged into the app on an otherwise empty Android VM, which means I'm not fully hardcore. Need that because people are way cagey about giving out their phone number, but everyone wants you to write them on insta. Could just ignore that, but I like meeting people.
Nothing non-federated apart from that, though.

I've never been an avid Reddit user, so on that front it's very easy to me.
Still, I do interact with some of the other mainstream media.

Only lemmy, I'm too spicy for corporate social media. Now if I said insane racist shit in support of trump, I'd be fine. But that's not me. I'm pointedly in favor of personal freedoms. Which is NOT in line with the end user agreements.

I literally only use Lemmy, I'm not even all that interested in Mastodon XD

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.

Could you elaborate on that a bit? I guarantee you there's a group of people that think you know the age of consent in all states when you write stuff like this

Reddit is only good for the occasional Google search.

wrote last edited by [email protected]I pretty much just plugged my favorite subreddits into my rss readers of choice and never looked back (the same can be done with lemmy btw).
Edit: I believe this can also be done with 4chan, but I can no longer recall how it's done. If anybody knows please lmk.

I thought they killed those aps
They did, I’m using a sideloaded version with my own API key.

BBS -> Slashdot -> Reddit -> Lemmy -> ???
They all have their time. I'll see some of y'all on whatever is next. It branches, I didn't do digg.

So the way I read your response is:
Since the OP is concerned that making posts to large data corporations who use that data to target the OP with ads, collect as much personal data as possible to sell or monetize and train LLMs based on the OPs "community contributions", they must be a pedo.
Bold take.
You're a first year McKinsey intern I take it?
