Ask Lemmy

I only use Lemmy.

The main reason is that Redditt banned me for saying that if you have the chance, you should always punch a nazi.

I got banned from reddit for saying I should be allowed to punch nazis and my appeal was declined in minutes. This has led me to the conclusion that Reddit is pro nazi and ban evasion is a lot of work.

I do still peep at it because ngl Lemmy doesn't have that endless stream of content going.

It's not that I try to ne hardcore. Reddit was alright, but I felt subconciously it is going to shit for some time. But I liked the format, so I stayed. The API fiasco just showed the really bad face of it (mainly how it was handled) and made an opportunity for people to talk more about alternatives. Sure, Lemmy doesn't have as much stuff as Reddit, especially for more niche topics but I enjoy my stay much more.

I peeked in a couple of times but not for long.

I quit Reddit long ago. It was my go to for everything. I also don't have any social media at all. Only communicate with family through texts and calls.

I guess I'm hardcore now. 🤘

Deleted:

• facebook
• twitter
• reddit
• soundcloud
• spotify
• instagram
• snapchat

I've been changing to free alternatives and switching to Linux just turbocharged the process.

I'm on lemmy. I'm an artist so I also have an account on Pixelfed.art because it has a portfolio view I can show people.

Otherwise I am a non-participant in social media.

Still on Reddit. I’d be here full time but the content is severely lacking.

🙋‍♂️

Just Lemmy.

Never considered it hardcore but yes Lemmy is my only social media unless you count youtube.

Nope. I never really used Reddit. I haven't touched Facebook since you needed an .edu email. Never got on any of the other platforms.

Main thing I used to use was just a small forum with a few people I knew for 20+ years until the guy who took over code and server maintenance made it a Nazi safe space.

Only Lemmy for about a year now

Haven't been to reddit in the two years since I joined here, and I don't have any other social media.

I'm enjoying Bluesky too, but yeah, reddit sucks so much since the API changes. When was that?

I don't even remember anymore.

Look, we debated all this a decade ago. Can venture funded social media stay good? Now we know! Back then, the alternatives were more difficult to find and use. Lemmy and mastodon are here, and they're so easy. It's great. Keep building.

I mainly use Lemmy. Reddit for search results, haven’t seen the home page in years. Never had Twitter or Instagram or TikTok. Still watch a lot of YouTube, mostly for either chess content or movie reviews, sometimes tutorials or professional lectures. Use Facebook for talking to exactly two friends.

Logged into Facebook the other day and saw a friend request. The name was familiar, but not exactly, so I checked the profile. Soon realized he was my ex-girlfriend.

Only browse old.reddit when searching around for info I might not run into otherwise but haven't needed to log in there in the last 1-2 years or so. Beyond that usage it's just Lemmy for the normal browsing/posting/commenting.

I mostly just use Lemmy. On rare occasions I check Instagram, but only if friends of mine post something (got notifications turned on for everybody I care about)

I do. Got banned.

Lemmy only. Haven’t used reddit in a couple of years. I have a Pixelfed account that gets opened once every two weeks or so. No meta products, no xitter, this is it.

Once I closed the instagram account, I lost a few friends. A couple I had known for years IRL. The important ones I am still in touch with, mostly via text of some sort

It's not that I don't bother with mainstream social media, it's that I no longer have accounts with them and that most of my personal information on accounts with services like YouTube or Discord are fake names and addresses, sometimes even fake phone numbers.

I haven't looked back at Reddit since the API changes, stopped using StackOver when they started using AI.

I've not gone back to reddit since the big exodus a couple of years ago, was it? Aside from checking specific threads about pc issues I run into etc... Well actually I never had an account on reddit tbh, I was just browsing so I don't know if it counts.

I haven't used Reddit since I made my Lemmy account aside from when it comes up incidentally in conversations or online searches.

Reddit isn't anime friendly and I don't wish to support organizations that feel that way.

Want to leave Reddit, but content is SEVERLY LACKING on Lemmy, and the thing that keeps me away from Lemmy is

1. The people , who thinks Linux is god and anyone says anything else is pure evil/villain and act accordingly here in comments EVERYWHWRE
2. same as above
3. I can't figure out what are Lemmy sub parts and how to access them, till date I have I access to part of Lemmy shown to me via BOOST app, but apart from that I don't know

Oh shoot! I missed posting to this topic on my cakeday by 20 minutes, but me!

Came over after they killed third party apps because I couldn't use my beloved Sync, which is now never updated anyways.

I'm not ashamed to admit I moved to Reddit during the great Digg migration. Platforms come and go, you just keep on rolling.

In all seriousness, I do feel like content has got better here in that time and I enjoy the raw, early Internet vibes. There's still plenty of room to grow, but I feel very positive about it all.

I interact only with Lemmy since I made an account. Before that, I did not interact with anything since the Reddit exodus.

Lemmy is my only social media at this point. I have a few other sites I look at for information but they are tech sites. The tech sites I look at are not mainstream anymore either.

I cold-turkeyed reddit.

Also noticed when I type reddit on android app search-bar thing sync shows up for some reason.

I am so hardcore. Like Quickdraw McGraw. Fuck what you heard, you ain't heard this before.

only Lemmy, but if I search for something I still go to reddit
