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?
I only post or reply on Lemmy.
I don't have a facebook, instagram, snapchat, or twitter account.
I deleted my two reddit accounts after RIF stopped working.
I do have accounts on a couple of car forums so I can ask questions about fixing my car, if that counts.

Nope. I never really used Reddit. I haven't touched Facebook since you needed an .edu email. Never got on any of the other platforms.
Main thing I used to use was just a small forum with a few people I knew for 20+ years until the guy who took over code and server maintenance made it a Nazi safe space.

Is this place really that small?

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 reported a post for severe misandry. Respectfully, I might add. Some loser admin did not like that.

I quit reddit 2 years ago and have been Lemmy/kbin/pifed only since.
What are those other things
-
Until Lemmy can offer me the active specialized subs I use reddit for, it's pretty hard to drop it completely.
Ya Reddit is crazy for the amount of people you can find in a Niche community. From a random health condition you may have, to one specific video game that is 20+ years old.

I’m banned from Reddit so I’m here and this is my only social media left
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 don't know how people can live without niche subs that simply don't exist on lemmy. I read them but I can't participate since reddit fingerprints me no matter what I do and instantly bans my new accounts.
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 still have Stealth, though browsers are probably better since you get more control and therefore privacy
If that app gives a better UI than the web view on mobile, I may switch. Thank you!

Left Reddit almost a year ago and haven’t looked back.

I had seven billion updoots or whatever on reddit. I haven't used it for 2 years.
Also, why is that "hardcore"? You might want to reevaluate your relationshio with social media and computing. If you can't disconnect from it that sounds unhealthy.

I only participate on Lemmy. I strictly consume video content on Reddit. But I haven't participated on Reddit in around a decade.

I have never posted on reddit. I guess I dodged a bullet there.

Yo wtf?
As someone in a similar-sounding situation who usually runs the code and maintainance - w t f?
There is no way one of my buddies taking over turns anything into a nazi safe space.
tf???

Reddit still comes up when I'm searching for info/insight on specific topics, but for scrolling and commenting it's Lemmy all day er'yday.

I don't use any mainstream social media, but I don't see how that is hardcore? I simply socialize in real life when I need it. And I feel like people mainly really use social media to entertain themselves.

It's a little salty exaggeration but it was a group mainly of military people. The main guy went to work for the Pentagon years back and scrubbed his internet identity and sold/gave things to a member he trusted.
That member went nuts over covid and BLM. Started things like messaging me that because I wanted to invest in solar energy I was an enslaver of humanity working for China.
Knew the guy since we were teenagers but I just became an internet 'other' to him one day. He's the one that made it a safe space for himself to post 13/50 screeds and shit.
So in this instance, the buddy became the Nazi.

I agree with your sentiment, and I am in a similar boat. I dont think stepping away from Reddit / Facebook / Instagram / TikTok is hardcore.
I didn't have eleventy billion updooterinos on Reddit, but I had a fair share. When they made their stand around 2 years ago, I nuked my profile and bailed.

Yes I uninstalled everything except Lemmy and it feels like 2007 again

I only use Lemmy since the reddit API Fuck up.
Sometimes, if I am looking for information, I visit reddit, but I treat it like any other random forum I look up something, take the info and fuck off again.
I use YouTube, if you wanna count that. I don't comment there and use Newpipe or PipePipe, so only consuming and no participation there too.
I haven't used any other social media, like Facebook or Instagram, so nothing hardcore for me in just continuing not to do so.
