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 don’t use reddit aside from reading search results. I never post and never explicitly seek it out.

    I deleted Twitter years ago. I never used Facebook or Instagram or tiktok. That shit’s bad for you.

    It’s annoying that some places will make announcements only on shitty platforms. None of my friends are this “hardcore” , so sometimes I find out about stuff like a concert or protest or whatever because one of them sees it on Instagram

    Lemmy has replaced reddit entirely for me. I only go on reddit every once in a while, just to see how bad it’s gotten.

    I use Discord and Lemmy, no Reddit outside of reading threads on how to do something in a game

    I deleted my Reddit account and switched to Lemmy after the API stuff. I kinda regret deleting my account because it wasn’t until after that I learned about the apps that would scrub your comment history, but Reddit has a tendency to roll those back anyway.

    I still sometimes end up on a Reddit thread when searching for some technical issue, but I generally try to browse other forums for solutions first if possible.

    ETA: all other social media stuff like Instagram and Facebook I deleted around the time of Trump’s first election. Just got sick of the constant stream of bullshit.

    Add me to the “hardcore” list. There’s just no need for that evil crap. I’m fine just on Lemmy, it keeps the consumption under control.

    Lemmy vs reddit I am 95%. I only go back to reddit for live episode discussions for Saturday Night Live or if it shows up in search results for something I need to know.

    Until Lemmy can offer me the active specialized subs I use reddit for, it’s pretty hard to drop it completely.

    I’m enjoying Bluesky too, but yeah, reddit sucks so much since the API changes. When was that?

    I don’t even remember anymore.

    Look, we debated all this a decade ago. Can venture funded social media stay good? Now we know! Back then, the alternatives were more difficult to find and use. Lemmy and mastodon are here, and they’re so easy. It’s great. Keep building.
