Got banned from reddit for being pro ukraine and saying the german trainsystem management structure needs to be destroyed and rebuild a new.
So yeah only lemmy for me
Banned from a sub Reddit, but you wouldn't be banned from Reddit site wide - unless you off the scale heinous.
As much as I dislike Reddit's direction and have had site wide temporary bans myself, i find it hard to believe you were properly banned for what you described. I was temporary banned because I was flaunting that I wasn't abiding by Reddit's rules, and even then, it was only a 2 week ban on a single account.

Just Lemmy for me. They pissed me the fuck off and i'm a stubborn bastard.

Oh I only use Lemmy, I didn't use Reddit in the past anyway, Lemmy is my first actual experience
I ditched reddit for good two years ago. Now I just use Lemmy, Tildes, and Lobste.rs

I don't know if I'm hardcore or not, but I've never had a Reddit account.
I stopped reddit a couple years ago, and I only use lemmy. This is like my 6th account, and instance hop. Definitely a system that works better for me.

Lemmy is my only social media
It is not hardcore i'd actually advise anyone to limit its media following for its own mental health. I never feel better than on vacation during which I barely check news and internet

lemmy since 2020 and mastodon since earlier this year, I use discord a lot, and a ton of rss feeds. I occasionally check instagram because thats where my wife sends me her memes so I try to remember to get in there at least once a week. I search for reddit answers when looking for stuff like recommendations but I havent had an account for a few years now
Used to use RiF, stopped when the api bullshit went down and all I use are lemmy and Facebook now.
Well i do use youtube but other than that i basically only use non-mainstream social media. I also use snapchat but only for messaging.

I use only Lemmy. It was easy for me since I pretty much only used Reddit until the mass exodus happened about a year ago and then shortly after they killed the RiF app for Android and I lost the way that I consumed Reddit 95% of the time so I transitioned to using Lemmy full time. I didn't have much of a choice unless I used PC to access Reddit, which I will still do from time to time for niche subjects, but I avoid posting.
I've never had any other "traditional" social media accounts. Call me a hipster, but I thought that shit was lame when people were constantly asking about adding me on MySpace or Facebook and just never bothered to jump on the bandwagon. Eventually, when it came out that those places were cesspools run by unethical hacks I avoided ever signing up intentionally and thanked my lucky stars that I was a grumpy and rebellious contrarian in my youth. I think I was forced to make a Facebook account to use my Oculus VR headset, but I put in as little factual information as I could get away with and never interacted with their terrible algorithm.
I use facebook marketplace and youtube but that's it when it comes to corpo social media
I only use Lemmy for browsing but I still search “(product name) Reddit” for reviews of appliances in addition to free consumer reports access through my library. It still seems like the best way to get real user feedback despite reddits best efforts to sell out.
I'm trying to leave #Meta apps for the #Fediverse. However, It is not easy because Most of my contacts are there and there is not so much local discussion here
Meta, ZUCKERBORG honestly is too datamine invasive to even make an account. i just bypass thier login popup up to look at certain posts with ublock origin. i think you could do it to linkedin too. the reason job sites like glassdoor and linkenin datamine is to give , besides selling it, giving your info to these companies in case your review "badmouths" them and they try to sue you.
glassdoor became corporate shills after they sued users. at the same time forums for these jobs have been shutdown.

After reddit apps were killed, using reddit became a chore.
I can now only use reddit in Firefox mobile or desktop and its not super polished for mobile.
Lemmy boost app is much more polished so I naturally gravitate to it over reddit. Also creating new accounts after bans is A lot easier
Seeing how this post has 600 replies and I see a lot of activity in the past 6 months I feel Lemmy is doing pretty well as a reddit alternative.
I certainly don't miss the amount of shitposting that reddit had. Literally every first post was some dumb joke that didn't even made me chuckle..

I’m off Facebook because they ban you for picking on racists now. I’m off Reddit as well. I barely go there on mobile but catch myself there on desktop if I’m researching something.
I only use Lemmy and Piefed.
