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

[aggravationstation@feddit.uk]

I left Reddit at the start of the APIocalypse. Lemmy is the only social media I use unless you count Youtube which I watch through Newpipe and Smarttube. Tried Mastodon but its not for me.

I earned my IP ban by knowing what the posse comitatus act is.

I've been off reddit for years before Lemmy. I do have an Instagram account, logged into the app on an otherwise empty Android VM, which means I'm not fully hardcore. Need that because people are way cagey about giving out their phone number, but everyone wants you to write them on insta. Could just ignore that, but I like meeting people.

Nothing non-federated apart from that, though.

I've never been an avid Reddit user, so on that front it's very easy to me.

Still, I do interact with some of the other mainstream media.

[snowclone@lemmy.world]

Only lemmy, I'm too spicy for corporate social media. Now if I said insane racist shit in support of trump, I'd be fine. But that's not me. I'm pointedly in favor of personal freedoms. Which is NOT in line with the end user agreements.

[brown567@sh.itjust.works]

I literally only use Lemmy, I'm not even all that interested in Mastodon XD

[jargonwagon@lemmy.world]

Lemmy is the only one I check daily. I don't bother with reddit unless I'm using a search engine and can't find the answer I'm looking for. Even then, reddit's not all that great anymore since a huge chunk of the user base deleted all their shit and left.

Could you elaborate on that a bit? I guarantee you there's a group of people that think you know the age of consent in all states when you write stuff like this

[steve0greatness@lemmy.world]

Reddit is only good for the occasional Google search.

reddit.com/r/%subreddit.rss

I pretty much just plugged my favorite subreddits into my rss readers of choice and never looked back (the same can be done with lemmy btw).

Edit: I believe this can also be done with 4chan, but I can no longer recall how it's done. If anybody knows please lmk.

[anas@lemmy.world]

They did, I’m using a sideloaded version with my own API key.

[machinist@lemmy.world]

BBS -> Slashdot -> Reddit -> Lemmy -> ???

They all have their time. I'll see some of y'all on whatever is next. It branches, I didn't do digg.

So the way I read your response is:

Since the OP is concerned that making posts to large data corporations who use that data to target the OP with ads, collect as much personal data as possible to sell or monetize and train LLMs based on the OPs "community contributions", they must be a pedo.

Bold take.

You're a first year McKinsey intern I take it?

[quantumtoast@lemmy.zip]

I had no idea it could be done

[percent@infosec.pub]

I mostly browse Lemmy, but I occasionally check Reddit.
I never really got into the microblogging types of platforms (Mastodon, X, Bluesky, Threads, etc) for some reason

[nangijala@feddit.dk]

I left social media earlier this year. Lemmy is my transition platform. I hope to eventually drop off the internet entirely except for job and practical related things.

[kenoh@feddit.online]

Good question. I suppose I should be looking into it, but next on my list to de-google myself is getting a subscription to Kagi.

I'm sorry I really don't get this reference. All I'm saying is that libertarians are pedophiles, nothing new or weird.

[alphaomega@lemmy.world]

I stopped using Reddit when I switched to Lemmy.

[experimentalguy@programming.dev]

Lemmy, NPR, and AP are the only things I read now.
