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 deleted Reddit months ago.

I don't consider myself hardcore, but I haven't posted to Reddit since the API thing, I read stuff there because there's lots of content, but I strongly dislike the official app so I refuse to use it, which means posting would be a hassle.

wrote last edited by [email protected]I don't need more time wasting sites, so I do limit myself to Lemmy. Yes.

Lemmy for shits and giggles.
Facebork for relatives and friends who won't get off it.

Is that considered hardcore? I know plenty of people without any social media, but all of them are >40yo, we learned to socialize before gafam

I was on Reddit a long time, never had a Facebook or Twitter or Instagram or Snapchat, back in the dark ages I used Usenet but not AOL or Myspace or anything like that. I try not to use much that is not anonymous.
For a couple of years now just Lemmy, in those two years I have put I think 4 posts on Reddit (people with local questions, Lemmy is not big enough for a good local sub.), and look at it maybe once every two months, not browsing but in answer to specific questions.
I wouldn't describe myself as hardcore, though. Regular person. I look at the phone's news feed, talk to other people, get information other places.

I used reddit for searching stuff purely out of convenience (which lemmy instance do I choose for the site: query?) but for everyday content it's exclusively lemmy ever since I went on a mission of deleting all my commercial social media accounts.

boost probably does too, but boost for lemmy is superior. that's what I use
Boost is only for Lemmy now. Boost for reddit was disabled however long ago my account is old.

Yep. That's me. Ditched all social with reddit last to go but still years ago. I don't feel hardcore... I still get pretty much the same hit w Lemmy n mastodon... w/o the ads n bullshit. And nah I don't think that if its not here its not important... but if it really is important I will find out. So precious little really is truly important. Social media being "vital" is one of those great myths that evaporates quickly when you leave it behind.

The reason I would call reddit social media is that I don't agree with any of those rules
The closest I would agree with is 2, and not based on lack of anonymity but instead on persistence of identity, and that being core to the experience
I was part of subreddits where users knew each other as distinct personalities, and could converse across different threads across time, and occasionally IRL from various meetups
When a website doesn't have a lively and persistent 'local' community (maybe geographic, maybe subject etc) it can't really be social
4chan is social media.

I use Lemmy only, no reddit and no Facebook/Instagram/Twitter etc
Thanks for calling me hardcore

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.
Same here. Most of my reddit usage was on my phone and used baconreader. When they killed 3rd party apps I switched to lemmy. My only reddit usage now is occasionally clicking on reddit links to search results on niche topics. Though i don't do that much on my phone because of the annoyance of reddit constantly requesting to open in app instead of mt browser.
I kinda like that AI scrapes all of reddit as my Kagi searches can summarize reddit results without actually going to reddit.
I also don't use any other social media, such as mastodon. I quit facebook about a decade ago and see zero reason to join anything else.

i don't use social media at all, and i don't consider reddit social media tbh, at least not in the same category. but i don't use reddit either since they fucked the API.

Still on Reddit. I’d be here full time but the content is severely lacking.
-
the only social media I have is Lemmy and mastodon. I prefer Lemmy to mastodon. (I also have kbin)
I quit Facebook, Reddit, Twitter etc. because of content manipulation. They suppress posts against their agenda and promote those for their agenda. I always knew this, but when I realized I was being influenced, I deleted my accounts and quit.
Only things I'll use now are open source, decentralized, and non profit owned. (I'll gladly donate)
Lemmy is also being manipulated, but here it's primarily through users. It's a problem you'll have on any social media, particularly if fully anonymous.

I only post or reply on Lemmy.
I don't have a facebook, instagram, snapchat, or twitter account.
I deleted my two reddit accounts after RIF stopped working.
I do have accounts on a couple of car forums so I can ask questions about fixing my car, if that counts.

Nope. I never really used Reddit. I haven't touched Facebook since you needed an .edu email. Never got on any of the other platforms.
Main thing I used to use was just a small forum with a few people I knew for 20+ years until the guy who took over code and server maintenance made it a Nazi safe space.

Is this place really that small?

Currently waiting for it to happen to me.... Their new rules got banned twice now for three days and then seven days.
Didn't even say anything out of the ordinary. What finally got you banned?
I reported a post for severe misandry. Respectfully, I might add. Some loser admin did not like that.
