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?
Yes? But I don’t think I’m hardcore, I started using Lemmy when I stopped using reddit.
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 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.
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.
I only use Reddit when it comes up in a search result. Otherwise it is Lemmy all the way
I use facebook marketplace and youtube but that’s it when it comes to corpo social media
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.
Only Lemmy.
Im IP banned from Reddit though. Still wouldn’t ever go back.
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)
I only use lemmy now although I don’t know understand what is a local user.
Only Lemmy.
I’m only on Lemmy (and other Fediverse sites). And I guess I ramble and post photos on Tumblr (but I think they’re working on ActivityPub support too?)
I only occasionally pick up random Reddit threads on web searches (and even those seem few and far between these days), and I’m definitely not posting there anymore.
Occasionally I’ll hit up a reddit result if I’m doing a search looking for an answer to a specific question. But I never browse it since the 3rd party apps stopped working.
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!
Trying to but its hard. But I’m only on reddit when i really have to throught the browser. I try to minimize my traffic there.
Well i do use youtube but other than that i basically only use non-mainstream social media. I also use snapchat but only for messaging.
