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?

    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.

      There is no way one of my buddies taking over turns anything into a nazi safe space.

        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.
