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?
wrote last edited by [email protected]I left Reddit 2 or 3 years back and have only used Lemmy since.
I joined through Lemm.ee so recently had to move over to Lemmy.zip
I think this was a net positive for me overall. Lemmy has a lot less content which helped me break the “I’m slightly bored let me pull out my phone and scroll Reddit” addiction I didn’t even realize I had. Now I check Lemmy maybe once or twice a day, still see the big important events and the couple communities I care about.
I was never one for twitter, so I don’t bother with trying to find a replacement for that.
Overall the less social media I use the better I feel. I think future generations will look back on our constant use of social media and dopamine mining the same way we look back on how people used to smoke everywhere.
We know it’s bad for us, but we like the dopamine so everyone just does it everywhere, we give toddlers tablets so they can start dopamine mining as early as possible. I hope our descendants look back at this time with a sense of “holy shit they just let people smoke in the nurseries at the hospital?!”

You can create a new Reddit account and get it up and running. Especially if enough time has passed. Create a new account, and comment SLOW, dont make posts, just comment. Once you have like 100+ Karma and an account thats a week old? You are golden!
I've tried multiple times. Reddit bans the account immediately after the first time I comment.

I don't have a reddit account and only comment on lemmy. Although I do check the reddit frontpage every so often the actual communities I interact with are here.
Other than that, I have a mastodon account which I'm quite active on and a letterboxd too. Last thing would be linkedin but I don't post there and maybe login to it once a quarter.

For daily browsing, pure Lemmy.
Researching a problem or future purchase, I'm still putting site:reddit.com in the search bar. I love you Lemmy, but you're just not there yet.
Ask on lemmy as well, so next time someone else might not need to go there for the same answer

I use both several times a day. Reddit has more content. But the fediverse (and decentralization of communication) is important to me so I created my own instance. I'm hoping more people follow.

I use reddit, but barely. Mostly for irish subreddits, the severance subreddit and r/guineapigs. And shilling lemmy of course ; )

What's the last movie you logged on letterboxd?

Yeah honestly, when you have a question like that, if there's an appropriate Lemmy community for it share what you learned from your research on Reddit and ask is anyone else has input. Reddit may own the content but they certainly didn't make it, or provide compensation to the person/people who did.

How has Lemmy been for you? How do you resist the call of Reddit on a Dark and stormy night?
wrote last edited by [email protected]Get permabanned for saying nazis should die lol
Honestly I am still struggling to avoid it, I browse a lot still, but they are no longer getting my content for free because I literally cannot.

I don't use reddit aside from reading search results. I never post and never explicitly seek it out.
I deleted Twitter years ago. I never used Facebook or Instagram or tiktok. That shit's bad for you.
It's annoying that some places will make announcements only on shitty platforms. None of my friends are this "hardcore" , so sometimes I find out about stuff like a concert or protest or whatever because one of them sees it on Instagram
I don't disagree, but what are the other/additional ways these announcements should be made that are effective? Besides word of mouth.

Me.
Hate Reddit. Always did. Lemmy's better.

Who do you choose to follow on Mastodon
-
You can always just create another account by the way. It takes a moment to get back up and running because of shadow bans, but it is possible
I was not successful in my attempts. No matter what privacy measures, whether I let the account sit and I just lurked and upvoted before trying to subscribe/post/etc, got suspended almost immediately several times before I gave up.

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 gota temp ban for saying a Nazi should die, and then I think the client that need to the permaban was someone about how some cop should die (a specific one who did something heinous as far as I can tell from the of the thread where my deleted comment was).

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!
-
I only use Lemmy.
The main reason is that Redditt banned me for saying that if you have the chance, you should always punch a nazi.

same here
