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 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.

      i got permaban 99% of my accounts initially early this year, tried to play it safe with a single old account by only visiting niche communities, but shadowban eventually caught up with my account. i suspect it was triggered when i tried to switch toa firefox fork+ a mod removed one of my comments in a niche sub.

      1st thing it did is force you to change password then the ban was immediate. i suspect they were using the “change password” trick to ban people.
