How many of you use Lemmy and ONLY use Lemmy vs Reddit?

[haui_lemmy@lemmy.giftedmc.com]

Yes, hi. I have fully abandoned antisocial media.

Stuff is not important anyway, no matter where it is posted. I get input here, which is okay. But the most important part is: I dont get centrally controlled propaganda and am able to form my own input as I can handle it.

I switched to lemmy about two years ago and went almost cold turkey. There was one community on reddit that I returned to a couple of times in the first few weeks, but even that stopped as it just wasn’t worth it. I have been to reddit a few times since, but only when trying to solve a problem and reddit comes up as a search result, and only after trying other sources first.

There is a treasure trove of useful knowledge fragments that I occasionally use at work - like for when I do a web search for an obscure error message - however I don't engage with the platform, just reference it when useful. Otherwise Fediverse forever, fam!

I use facebook marketplace and youtube but that's it when it comes to corpo social media

[gobbel2000@programming.dev]

Only using Lemmy. R***it has abundantly convinced me to never look back there.

[zwrt@lemmy.sdf.org]

Is that really considered hardcore?

I follow some local news and i have a list of video content creators i download with a script but other then that its just the Lemmy verse for me.

I stopped using reddit when they wouldn't allow 3rd parts apps, also stopped using twitter when Elon changed it x. I still use facebook for friends, family, coworkers and occasionally marketplace.

[absgeeknz@lemmy.nz]

I only use Reddit when it comes up in a search result. Otherwise it is Lemmy all the way

[catdogl0ver@lemmy.world]

I only use lemmy now although I don't know understand what is a local user.

[selkiesidhe@lemm.ee]

I still browse reddit but I was banned a long while ago. Guess I thumbed up too many Luigi posts lol

I go here to post (just wish I could find similar threads/subreddit or whatever. I miss posting on niche subjects)

[mangionedontmiss@lemmy.ca]

always check sources. always follow the money.

[gigasser@lemmy.world]

I think what you're talking about about are social "networking" sites, vs social "media". You could also say that it's a spectrum, some sites are more social media and others more networking.

[godric@lemmy.world]

Mf coming in with the receipts, that's good usage

[archmageazor@lemmy.world]

I stopped using Reddit when I got permabanned for speaking against fascism.

[3may@lemmy.world]

same. just point out the American Revolution and you are gone.

[ponygirl42@lemmy.wtf]

Just lemmy for some years now. I do miss the Reddit of the olden days though. You know, when there was still some Aaron Schwartz in it.

Back in the day I could go online and ask every goddamn question and a real person would give me an answer. There was this treasure trove of knowledge and opinions. Lemmy is sadly not quite there yet, but the memes are spicy and I like those nice socks you computer people wear.

I dream of the day, when somebody shuts down the internet. Because I know, all you sock wearing and Linux wielding Weirdos will get your shit running again the fastest.

[moseschrute@lemmy.ml]

I’m working on a Lemmy client and I occasionally browse main stream social media to check the robustness of my app vs theirs. But I find myself enjoying mainstream less and less as I settle more into Lemmy.

[sterile_technique@lemmy.world]

Oh I'd have been banned as fuck with all the shit that's happened since then. Pro Luigi? Ban. Anti-genocide? Ban. Pointing out that Trump has made himself a valid military target to our own military by making himself a domestic enemy to our constitution? Ban.

I'd have found my way here sooner or later.

[kerrigan778@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

Yes? But I don't think I'm hardcore, I started using Lemmy when I stopped using reddit.
