I don't use social media at all.
As far as Reddit/Lemmy, I only use Lemmy.
I did have a reddit account at one point but it only had a handful of posts, mostly gratitude for solutions to problems I was searching about, with reddit being the top return with the correct answer... Got banned for some reason though, so even if I had interest in using reddit (which I dont),I cant anymore, lol.
I just deleted my Reddit account, it's no good to me since they banned my account for "Abusing the report button" and wouldn't unban it no matter how many appeals I sent in. Part of me thought, maybe they'd unban it some day, but... naw... better to just walk away
I hope it goes the way of YTMND and becomes a distant memory. Although with YTMND my memories are at least pleasant.
I just hope someday the "Niche Interest" sublemmies become more active
the only social media I have is Lemmy and mastodon. I prefer Lemmy to mastodon. (I also have kbin)
I quit Facebook, Reddit, Twitter etc. because of content manipulation. They suppress posts against their agenda and promote those for their agenda. I always knew this, but when I realized I was being influenced, I deleted my accounts and quit.
Only things I'll use now are open source, decentralized, and non profit owned. (I'll gladly donate)
I’m 100% fediverse
No more stockholder / CEO / billionaire / fascist shit for me
I've never been an avid Reddit user, so on that front it's very easy to me.
Still, I do interact with some of the other mainstream media.
I'm such a solipsist, I'm surprised reddit is still relevant to anyone. I certainly come across some posts when searching for tech or product questions, but that's it.
Although even outside of the fedi, I spend more and more of my time just looking at people's individual websites and blogs. I've got a basically bottomless RSS feed curated by this point, so I don't even need an aggregator for the scroll -- I've got my own.
I think my Reddit account still exists, but I haven't logged in since 3rd party apps stopped working. It took me a bit to find Lemmy, and I'm still not on it was frequently as I was on Reddit.
I deleted my Twitter account when they announced they would be training grok on my tweets. I hadn't logged into it since Elmu mass-banned a bunch of journalists for retweeting the "Elon's Jet" account. I decided Mastodon was more likely to not get between me and the journalists I wanted to see microblogs from.
I'm not hardcore. I an still well-entrenched in the Google ecosystem (primarily YT). I still have a Facebook account, and occasionally login to un-tag myself. I use Amazon Pay / Paypal whenever I can, tho I at least stopped paying for Prime when they decided to start putting ads in Prime Video stuff.
I deleted my reddit account because spez took the reins in advance of their IPO. I've never looked back.
Hi
I don't use any mainstream social media, but I don't see how that is hardcore? I simply socialize in real life when I need it. And I feel like people mainly really use social media to entertain themselves.
I wouldn't consider exclusively using Lemmy for social media "hardcore". Let's be real, people don't use social media because the content is important. I use Lemmy when I need a break and such, see some memes, read an interesting article someone posted. And Reddit sometimes turns up when I search for opinions on products, solutions for maintaining my home, stuff like that. Usually just useful, old posts. I keep in contact with people I actually know through private chats, mostly Signal. What else do you need?
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 used both for a while there... But ehn, haven't touched my Reddit account in 3 years.
Too many nazis, and besides, Reddit's main appeal (mentioned in the thread: Reddit has a more diverse demographic as compared to only nerds here on Lemmy) doesn't really call to me because I'm Lemmy's demographic to a T, a Linux-loving left-wing queer nerd.
only Lemmy, but if I search for something I still go to reddit
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
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.
Just Lemmy.
Left Reddit almost a year ago and haven’t looked back.
I use Discord and Lemmy, no Reddit outside of reading threads on how to do something in a game
I don't have a reddit account and only comment on lemmy. Although I do check the reddit frontpage every so often the actual communities I interact with are here.
Other than that, I have a mastodon account which I'm quite active on and a letterboxd too. Last thing would be linkedin but I don't post there and maybe login to it once a quarter.
Lemmy is the only social media platform where I have an account. No Facebook, no Reddit, no LinkedIn, etc. From time to time I do read a post on Reddit, when it comes up in search results. When you have an obscure gaming or Linux issue, Reddit can (unfortunately) still be a treasure trove.
I wouldn't call it 'hardcore' not to use crap like that. I've never used Reddit, Twitter instagram or any of that (with one brief exception). Only the Fediverse. Made my mastodon account in 2018 and that's all I used until I made this Lemmy account last year.
The exception was: back about 15 years or so ago, some people talked me into making a facebook account because they had a group on there. I reluctantly made the account and read their posts for a while but it was just stupid meaningless tripe, so I never posted anything on there and after a while I deleted the account. During that time it was apparently hijacked because I logged on and someone had made a completely weird profile on it. Don't know how they did it but I changed the password and removed the stuff which seemed to work, that's when I submitted the deletion request to FB though who knows what happened to it after that.
edit: I should add that I do use Youtube (mainly via Freetube but not always) and I do read reddit posts when I search for things and it comes up as a relevant result.
