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 only use Lemmy since the reddit API Fuck up.

Sometimes, if I am looking for information, I visit reddit, but I treat it like any other random forum I look up something, take the info and fuck off again.

I use YouTube, if you wanna count that. I don't comment there and use Newpipe or PipePipe, so only consuming and no participation there too.

I haven't used any other social media, like Facebook or Instagram, so nothing hardcore for me in just continuing not to do so.

Same on all fronts. Not commenting on YouTube has been a good thing I'd say 90% of the time, it's a terrible place to try to have a discussion with their comment format.

Using Reddit even for occasional information is becoming a pain in the arse now with a lot of stuff locked behind login or behind other hurdles like CAPTCHA / AI challenges. They don't like us 'dine and dash' visitors it seems.

I stopped commenting on YouTube videos when they stopped showing me a list of connects i made in the past.
