How many of you use Lemmy and ONLY use Lemmy vs Reddit?
-
I switched to Lemmy after Reddit killed bacon reader. Never looked back. joined world and discovered defederation drama. Joined lemm.ee. now I'm on .zip. I don't want my instance dictating what I see. Even if it is the trifecta.
I use Mastodon also. I occasionally watch YouTube, but I don't post, and I definitely don't engage in the comments section.
Have not used Facebook in a decade. Not interested in tiktok or shorts. Occasionally pushed to imgur for the memes.
i made one on .today i posted a couple times, but i will be moving over after ee shutsdown, and possibly make a new instance account like piefed.

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've only ever marginaly used reddit, ages ago.
What's so hardcore about preferring social media over algorithms? -
I quit the others when Facebook started to hold my friend's messages hostage their invasive mobile app. I figured they only wanted the app installed so they could spy on me. I was right.
now they want ID and facial recognition scans, too invasive. plus they autoban people using temp emails.

Besides two niche subreddits, I stopped using reddit. So it's 90% Lemmy. I don't use much else for social media except Something Awful and a heavily manually censored Discover tab on Bluesky because I'm sick of seeing Amercians crying and their politics. I wish we could region block entire countries on our personal social media accounts.
Anyways, the focus is reddit. I don't really miss it because I could see the rot with bots, alts, power mods, site leadership, vote manipulation, etc etc.
wrote last edited by [email protected]thier lack of moderation against the actual troublesome bots, ie russia, iran israel, palintir, instead they are going after people like us and the OF people, and the people spamming thier links for thier businesses. they may occasionally take out some prop bots as to pretend like they are actually doing something.

Lemmy only.
-
most of us are here, because we got permabanned on reddit early this year, or shadowbanned recently.
Doubt. A lot of us are here because of the API changes in July of 2023.
true, also the recent sudden increase was from the purges.

I only go to reddit when it comes up on a google search, all my posts and comments are replaced and deleted

Was pro Palestine and critical of Israel, so they tried saying I was "promoting hate".
I was also telling people that we are going to have to start going outside the bounds of what is allowed by the current authority structures if we are going to have a chance at fighting for change; reminding people that the original labor movement worked because people stopped giving a shit about what the rule of law said was the "appropriate way to challenge the system" and instead occupied factories and local government offices for days on end to prevent them from doing anything other than listening to demands, the teamsters continued to make deliveries yet stopped accepting payment and tore up waybills to fuck the company over without allowing them to restrict access to goods, yadda yadda, etc...
So yea... Towards the end I was kinda giving up on subtlety and skirting the rules. Got my three strikes and was booted.
Haha, I pretty much did the same but only got a ban for 7 days xD
I'm also banned on many subs because I said a Tesla looks best when there is flames inside, which they say is promoting violence...
It's a freaking car...
Reddit really is fucked

Lemmy only.
Same here.

Lemmy only. I quit Reddit when the third party apps fell.
I do miss some of the niche hobby subreddits, but fuck Spez. If I need to find some info, I can access it via search engines.
Otherwise I'm perfectly happy with Lemmy, people are generally much nicer and there's more than enough content. Reddit was so overbloated that this smaller universe is quite enough for me.

Tbh I still use reddit like a little whore because there's a number of workarounds if you're willing to make your own dev key or whatever.

Lemmy & Reddit. Subs for my language are very quiet here, so I use Reddit for that.

wrote last edited by [email protected]I never go to Reddit anymore after moving to Lemmy, but I do sometimes end up on a Reddit post it's a relevant search result.

wrote last edited by [email protected]Oh I got a 7 day ban. Three times cause I don't know when to quit.
And yea I fucking hate. It's cause, technically, property damage is "violent" by the definition.
Yet, it's fucking stupid to equivocate damage to inanimate object to damage to a living being. -

After reddit apps were killed, using reddit became a chore.
I can now only use reddit in Firefox mobile or desktop and its not super polished for mobile.Lemmy boost app is much more polished so I naturally gravitate to it over reddit. Also creating new accounts after bans is A lot easier

I am going to make a more concerted effort to use Lemmy more than Reddit moving forward. I just wish it had more info over here. I think from now on if I cannot find the info that I seek on Lemmy, I will find some sources on Reddit and then maybe pay it forward via sharing my findings on Lemmy. That's at least what I'm going to try and do for a while and see if I can help make a difference.
