    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 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. I do a lot of programming/game dev so I need to reference some reddit posts for that but never browsing there anymore.

        My 10+ year old account with high karma was perma banned overnight I got into an argument with a power tripping rad left mod. I'm left leaning politically, however if you arent rad left on Reddit then youre a fascist. They love that echo chamber. Honestly one of the best thibgs to ever happen to me. Reddit is bad for your mental health. And their power tripping mods are pretty much nazis

            The apps would open up a port that website Facebook integration tried to call to get around all tracking protections.

              I use both because people in my home country use reddit and it is pretty useful. Those communities are non-existing in Lemmy.

                yep. i just need to know what's going on but i don't need to 'hang out'. lemmy doesn't have enough news to see the big picture.

                  lol. you're going to have an awakening soon. lemmy is full of rad left. reddit looks moderate by comparison.

                    funny thing is reddit prefers "read-only" as evidence of thier ai overmoderation as of late, to what end? just for advertisement purposes.

                            I ditched reddit for good two years ago. Now I just use Lemmy, Tildes, and Lobste.rs

                              I don't know if I'm hardcore or not, but I've never had a Reddit account.

                                      Lemmy only. Reddit has become some strange mix of Quora and X or something like that at this point.

                                        Have been here well over a year now and can confidently say the majority of lemmy users are left, not rad left. Wanting basic human rights for all isn't a radical idea, thinking gay people should have the right to get married isn't a radical idea, wanting teans folks to have their medical needs met isn't a radical idea

                                        I'm not in for any awakening. I've done been awake, are you?

                                          I stopped reddit a couple years ago, and I only use lemmy. This is like my 6th account, and instance hop. Definitely a system that works better for me.
