I’m working on a Lemmy client and I occasionally browse main stream social media to check the robustness of my app vs theirs. But I find myself enjoying mainstream less and less as I settle more into Lemmy.

Just lemmy for some years now. I do miss the Reddit of the olden days though. You know, when there was still some Aaron Schwartz in it.

Back in the I could go online and ask every goddamn question and a real person would give me an answer. There was this treasure trove of knowledge and opinions. Lemmy is sadly not quite there yet, but the memes are spicy and I like those nice socks you computer people wear.

I dream of the day, when somebody shuts down the internet. Because I know, all you sock wearing and Linux wielding Weirdos will get your shit running again the fastest.

I stopped using Reddit when I got permabanned for speaking against fascism.

I switched to lemmy about two years ago and went almost cold turkey. There was one community on reddit that I returned to a couple of times in the first few weeks, but even that stopped as it just wasn’t worth it. I have been to reddit a few times since, but only when trying to solve a problem and reddit comes up as a search result, and only after trying other sources first.

Reddit killed third party apps, and so they killed my engagement with them. Why go back?

I only use Reddit when it comes up in a search result. Otherwise it is Lemmy all the way

I use facebook marketplace and youtube but that’s it when it comes to corpo social media

Is that really considered hardcore?

I follow some local news and i have a list of video content creators i download with a script but other then that its just the Lemmy verse for me.

Only Lemmy.

Im IP banned from Reddit though. Still wouldn’t ever go back.

I still browse reddit but I was banned a long while ago. Guess I thumbed up too many Luigi posts lol

I go here to post (just wish I could find similar threads/subreddit or whatever. I miss posting on niche subjects)

I only use lemmy now although I don’t know understand what is a local user.

I stopped using reddit when they wouldn’t allow 3rd parts apps, also stopped using twitter when Elon changed it x. I still use facebook for friends, family, coworkers and occasionally marketplace.

Can’t use Reddit if I’m permanently banned. Fuck them anyways.

Only Lemmy.
