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 switched to lemmy about two years ago and went almost cold turkey. There was one community on reddit that I returned to a couple of times in the first few weeks, but even that stopped as it just wasn’t worth it. I have been to reddit a few times since, but only when trying to solve a problem and reddit comes up as a search result, and only after trying other sources first.

    I only use Reddit when it comes up in a search result. Otherwise it is Lemmy all the way

    I still browse reddit but I was banned a long while ago. Guess I thumbed up too many Luigi posts lol

    I go here to post (just wish I could find similar threads/subreddit or whatever. I miss posting on niche subjects)

    I stopped using reddit when they wouldn’t allow 3rd parts apps, also stopped using twitter when Elon changed it x. I still use facebook for friends, family, coworkers and occasionally marketplace.

    Reddit killed third party apps, and so they killed my engagement with them. Why go back?

    Is that really considered hardcore?

    I follow some local news and i have a list of video content creators i download with a script but other then that its just the Lemmy verse for me.

    There is a treasure trove of useful knowledge fragments that I occasionally use at work - like for when I do a web search for an obscure error message - however I don’t engage with the platform, just reference it when useful. Otherwise Fediverse forever, fam!

    Yes, hi. I have fully abandoned antisocial media.

    Stuff is not important anyway, no matter where it is posted. I get input here, which is okay. But the most important part is: I dont get centrally controlled propaganda and am able to form my own input as I can handle it.

    I’m only on Lemmy (and other Fediverse sites). And I guess I ramble and post photos on Tumblr (but I think they’re working on ActivityPub support too?)

    I only occasionally pick up random Reddit threads on web searches (and even those seem few and far between these days), and I’m definitely not posting there anymore.
