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?
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 on 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?

I had no idea it could be done

I mostly browse Lemmy, but I occasionally check Reddit.
I never really got into the microblogging types of platforms (Mastodon, X, Bluesky, Threads, etc) for some reason -

I left social media earlier this year. Lemmy is my transition platform. I hope to eventually drop off the internet entirely except for job and practical related things.

Is Nebula a worthwhile alternative to YT? Less (ideally no) low-effort content, no ads, no comments section.
Good question. I suppose I should be looking into it, but next on my list to de-google myself is getting a subscription to Kagi.

I'm sorry I really don't get this reference. All I'm saying is that libertarians are pedophiles, nothing new or weird.

I stopped using Reddit when I switched to Lemmy.

Lemmy, NPR, and AP are the only things I read now.

reddit links from searches are the only times i land there.

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.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]On the two subs I frequented:
-
/r/thelastairbender is just cultish and shallow now. I abandoned it. But it's painful for me, as this is like the only sane place left the fandom has any critical mass. /c/thelastairbender is nice, but very quiet.
-
/r/localllama Has... lost its intelligence? Like no one seems to experiment or talk technically anymore, good talk seems to be on github, or shattered across Discords, while the 'critical mass' is in the AI Bro black hole of Twitter and Linkedin. I read it, but never post anymore. localllama here is better, but smaller and downvoted to hell.
Also, I've been shadowbanned on like 4 accounts in 3 different IPs/machines, no explanation, no recourse. I never post anything political or even remotely provocative (unless links to Lemmy count) and only visit those two subs, so... Yeah, kinda sick of that.

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.
