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?
Haven’t looked at reddit since the first exodus. Feels good.
Personally I use reddit a lot more than lemmy. My interests aren’t well represented here on lemmy. Still come here sometimes though.
Most people in here got banned or erased their Reddit account
I’d imagine is a pretty small amount

For most of my scrolling and feed I use lemmy. I have discord for friends and workmates. Reddit I never comment, scroll, or even login to, but some extremely specific searches will still have some usable info on Reddit, especially for work (IT, mostly non Linux environments) or for very niche subjects.
I don’t use other forms of social media, unless you count random youtube videos. Though I don’t go through that using the algorithm much either, unless it recommends videos from the same 8 or so creators I’ll let it, or it’s short animal videos.
I use Reddit to investigate niche topics. Sometimes I want people’s say instead of these blogs showing top 10 house renting service.
The pure scale of Reddit users makes it more attractive in this regards right now
I do Lemmy and blue sky. I have mastodon but don’t go there much anymore.
I watch videos on YouTube if that counts as social media.
That’s where I’m at. Reddit was the only social media I was using, now it’s just Lemmy. I don’t consider it “hardcore” or some kind of bragging right, I’m just happier without it.
Trump’s election is what did it for me. That and Reddit’s user experience had become so watered down with slop and bad content presentation in general. I’ve unsubscribed from Amazon, no Paypal, deleted Facebook, stopped using Gmail mostly (still working on that), deleted Instagram, stopped watching CNN, stopped allowing tracking and fingerprinting as much as possible. If your site tracks, I’m using another unless it is reasonable for the application.
Since then, on my phone, I use FOSS browser, NextDNS, Eternity for Lemmy, Pixelfed and Mastodon. For all my searching, I started using Swisscows, but now I am searching with SearxNG. Also, I am trying Proton, Tutanota, and kollabnow for email. Got Arch Linux on laptop because Microsoft tracking and snooping is so far out of control it should be illegal 50 different ways.
Fuck those techbros. This is now our civic duty.
Lemmy is the only one I check daily. I don’t bother with reddit unless I’m using a search engine and can’t find the answer I’m looking for. Even then, reddit’s not all that great anymore since a huge chunk of the user base deleted all their shit and left.
I only use lemmy. I’ll need an alternative for Discord soon.
Permabanned from reddit and don’t feel like going through the hassle of bypassing it. I still browse every now and then for niche content that just doesn’t exist on Lemmy but otherwise I’m on here exclusively.
Used to browse Reddit daily but not anymore. Still use it if I need help troubleshooting something or for some specific piece of information I am looking for.
I bailed on Reddit and uninstalled after they made “Luigi” into hate speech or inciting violence. First off Luigi Mangione is a fucking Saint. Second, fuck Reddit. Lemmy all the way!
I stopped using Reddit when I switched to Lemmy.
