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?
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.
Reddit stopped being mainstream for me since the API bullshit, so… hardcore I am, guess I
I am hardcore lemmy user
Haven’t been to reddit since I joined here.
Lemmy is my only social media at this point. I have a few other sites I look at for information but they are tech sites. The tech sites I look at are not mainstream anymore either.
the only social media I have is Lemmy and mastodon. I prefer Lemmy to mastodon. (I also have kbin)
I quit Facebook, Reddit, Twitter etc. because of content manipulation. They suppress posts against their agenda and promote those for their agenda. I always knew this, but when I realized I was being influenced, I deleted my accounts and quit.
Only things I’ll use now are open source, decentralized, and non profit owned. (I’ll gladly donate)
It’s not normal here? I’m only Lemmy+mastodon (with a bsky bridge)
I am so hardcore. Like Quickdraw McGraw. Fuck what you heard, you ain’t heard this before.
This is the only “social media” I use, alsthough its really more like a message board than modern social media.
I guess I’m hardcore now. 🤘
Lemmy is the only social media i have.
And i guess discord but that’s just for my weekly d&d group and nothing else
Lemmy is the only platform I participate on. I do occasionally check some niche subs on Reddit for hobbies and games I follow for news/suggestions/ideas/etc., but no idle browsing and no contributing, not even through votes.
I also sometimes pop onto Reddit just to manually edit and delete more of my comment history, because the automated tools are apparently only capable of seeing the past year. Once I finally get through everything, I can delete my account, but it’s a slow process with years worth of content to remove going back to 2010.
It’s not that I try to ne hardcore. Reddit was alright, but I felt subconciously it is going to shit for some time. But I liked the format, so I stayed. The API fiasco just showed the really bad face of it (mainly how it was handled) and made an opportunity for people to talk more about alternatives. Sure, Lemmy doesn’t have as much stuff as Reddit, especially for more niche topics but I enjoy my stay much more.
I peeked in a couple of times but not for long.

Discord, YouTube and Twitch. Even if I don’t count 1 because I don’t really build any online presence, all 3 together probably count as having mainstream social media no matter how strict the definition.
