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 was using Reddit is fun and when the killed the API I came here but still occasionally checked the Reddit app. Can’t remember what exactly put me over the edge but it was something about ads on the app I couldn’t handle anyone.

      Yeah I used Relay and when the API stuff happened I saw the reddit experience that people had apparently been having for years and was floored that people still used it, it’s so annoying. The constant ads, the community/post suggestions for shit I wasn’t subscribed to, all the weird avatar and badging stuff.

      Got it. Yeah the API bullshit was when I stopped moderating and left. The moment spez called us “landed gentry” (hence the username) and put his complete and utter distain for users on full display, I decided I had too much self-respect to stick around and give them my free labor anymore. Leaving that site was one of the best decisions I’ve made in a long time and honestly my mental health has vastly improved
