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?
Been feeling that a lot lately. As of the past couple days I've been exclusively on Lemmy/PieFed

I haven't used Reddit since I made my Lemmy account aside from when it comes up incidentally in conversations or online searches.
Reddit isn't anime friendly and I don't wish to support organizations that feel that way.

For some reason I don't count youtube as social media - If I went to reddit and read comments without voting that would count, but youtube is just a video delivery platform (and I don't read the comments). Not sure if that's a real distinction I can make
That's fair. I think it kind of depends on how much you interact with creators and their communities. (comment sections, comunity posts, live content, etc)

wrote last edited by [email protected]I completely quit reddit in protest after using it for over ten years when it threatened to replace the moderators of a small subreddit I participated in after that subreddit shut down during the API protests. I don't actually care about the API myself (I never used anything other than old reddit) but I thought that reddit had no moral (as opposed to merely legal) right to take over something the mods had built and it merely hosted.
Lemmy is worse, but at least I'm following my principles.

I interact only with Lemmy since I made an account. Before that, I did not interact with anything since the Reddit exodus.

i tried but there's just not enough content here, so I'm primarily lemmy maybe 40% of the time and reddit the other 60%

What are those other two
Arstechnica is a Condé Nast fluff piece machine.
Hackernews not so bad, but still owned by YC. They are investors in Reddit and seeded a lot of other tech startups.

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.
My exact response. Thank you

If anything I'm surprised by the constant Reddit comparisons, because this has never felt like Reddit to me.
It feels like a 90s forum. Small, focused on a handful of topics, you always argue with the same five guys about the same five things... It's not a Reddit replacement at all. Which is why I'm here, I don't contribute to Reddit and never have.

Reddit backstabbing the 3rd party app developers was the straw that broke the camel's back for me. Found my way here during that shitstorm. Full deletion of my Reddit accound, haven't looked back. The quality of Lemmy has left me no desire to relapse.

i nuked my post history and haven't logged-in to 'that site' in about two years. there is one sub i lurk in occasionally that hasn't gained any traction on the lemmy equivalent. that's it other than the (relatively infrequent) pointer to a post from a web search for which no other alternative was listed.

wrote last edited by [email protected]It's not that I don't bother with mainstream social media, it's that I no longer have accounts with them and that most of my personal information on accounts with services like YouTube or Discord are fake names and addresses, sometimes even fake phone numbers.
I haven't looked back at Reddit since the API changes, stopped using StackOver when they started using AI.

wrote last edited by [email protected]Yes. I don't even think of it as hardcore really, just that lemmy is good enough for my use case. If I don't find something I want in the fediverse, I'll create/post it myself.
*I'll also read a relevant thread on reddit, but I use the libredirect plugin so I always view through a front end (that I also connect to through a vpn).
**I will also say that there are some article posts that I don't think I'd be able to find easily with msm, mostly anything to do with Palestine.

I don't consider not using it "hardcore", it's just not there any more. Reddit isn't the place it used to be when I joined, so I don't have the option of using Reddit as I knew it. I'll occasionally look there for some niche subjects that aren't represented here but I'm almost always disappointed, it's rarely quality discussion these days.

I quit instagram in February or so and haven’t looked back since. „Social“ my ass.

I quit reddit 2 years ago and have been Lemmy/kbin/pifed only since.

I quit Reddit long ago. It was my go to for everything. I also don't have any social media at all. Only communicate with family through texts and calls.
