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 check Reddit like 5-10 minutes a week max and usually only if i land there via searches and just do a quick gloss over anything ive potentially missed. But compare that to the hours a week in habitually using lemmy (for better and/or worse i guess haha)
I do check other media but I do not participate in them anymore, e.g. I browse reddit or https://old.reddit.com/r/worldnews/ but I deleted my account months ago.
Depends what you mean by social media. I watch YouTube similar to watching TV. Doesn’t feel anything like Mastodon or Lemmy to me, you know what I mean?
I use Lemmy and Mastodon (and sometimes Pixelfed), but have currently a Bluesky-phase. I also noticed a lot of anxiety when using bluesky regarding current events, so i’m thinking of dropping it again, i can cope better with lemmy, much less hectic.
haven’t used reddit once since Spez’s mod-melting-bullshit. don’t anticipate ever going back. bluesky + lemmy is more than enough distraction for me.
The only thing I have that’s mainstream is Bsky. Outside of that, I’ve been fedi exclusive for some years now. I tried to make a Tumblr, but I forgot just how much corpo ran networks suck. The moment I was hit with adverts for their crappy membership and shop, I tapped out. I have a Facebook that’s only occasionally used to get contact information from old friends and family, but aside from that I’m always logged out.
That’s about it, I think. I consume Youtube through the web client and 3rd party mobile clients without an account, and I get around other sites with similar methods.
Only using Lemmy and don’t miss mainstream social media ;)
I’ve stopped contributing on Reddit a long time ago and only visit niche communities as a news feeds mostly.
I’ve actually been working on scraping powered rss feed generator of my own to avoid visiting reddit all together but turns out its a bit more than a weekend project to put all of the pieces together.
Joined when Boost for reddit stopped working for me a couple of months ago. Now I check the new here and open reddit when I’m just doom scrolling.
I don’t have an account on other social media.
Once in a while I do searches like “alternative to X site:reddit.com” for software, movie recommendations, etc. So I do use it, just don’t participate. Mostly because it’s designed to breed hate and distrust.
Literally the only social media I use (apart from signal, if that counts).
Reddit has some sort of permabanned me, so I cannot get even new accounts there. So you guys get to enjoy me here, yay!
They unfortunately still have the critical mass, and even though Lemmy is getting better on that front, there’s just so much more stuff on Reddit.
Ever since they killed third party apps, I stopped using it on my phone. Now whenever I have time to kill on my phone, I’m on Lemmy. My PC still has the old interface and such, so i still check it from time to time at home, but never on mobile. I’m on mobile for news far more than at my desktop.
I only visit for my niche subs, and even then it’s maybe once or twice a month at most. I just check the top posts for the month, and then leave. In and out. 20 minute adventure.
Reddit sucks. I’m here only.
