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 had seven billion updoots or whatever on reddit. I haven’t used it for 2 years.

    Also, why is that “hardcore”? You might want to reevaluate your relationshio with social media and computing. If you can’t disconnect from it that sounds unhealthy.

    Reddit still comes up when I’m searching for info/insight on specific topics, but for scrolling and commenting it’s Lemmy all day er’yday.

    I only post or reply on Lemmy.

    I don’t have a facebook, instagram, snapchat, or twitter account.

    I deleted my two reddit accounts after RIF stopped working.

    I do have accounts on a couple of car forums so I can ask questions about fixing my car, if that counts.

    I only participate on Lemmy. I strictly consume video content on Reddit. But I haven’t participated on Reddit in around a decade.

    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

    Is that considered hardcore? I know plenty of people without any social media, but all of them are >40yo, we learned to socialize before gafam

    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.

      Yo wtf?

      As someone in a similar-sounding situation who usually runs the code and maintainance - w t f?

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

      tf???

    I don’t consider myself hardcore, but I haven’t posted to Reddit since the API thing, I read stuff there because there’s lots of content, but I strongly dislike the official app so I refuse to use it, which means posting would be a hassle.

      I’m surprised you find there isn’t enough here for you. I’m pretty terminally online and I see new stuff constantly every day. Maybe subscribe tomore, larger communities?

        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.
