Cuz the comments throught Lemmy/Piefed seems to indicate that literally every user on here is a FOSS/Dencentralization Purist and has 100% abandoned mainstream platforms.

I wonder if this is actually true or just a small minority of users being overrepresented.

  • Xitter: App is installed but only for the @YearsProgress notification (which counts in percentage how far along we are in the year. Just a fun gimmick I could get from other apps but idc enough for to get active)
  • Trakt: Replaced by locally hosted yamtrack (It's a forked version and way better than trakt)
  • Discord (if that even counts): Only to message friends. I don't engage in public server discussions outside of rarely asking for troubleshooting help
  • Instagram: Only because friends send memes. Not much else
  • Pixiv: Very rarely
  • WhatsApp: Mainly due to family and RL acquaintances
  • Reddit: Only at work while waiting for a loading bar to finish. Also I can't always take/endure the high volume neutral-negative leaning posting of political threads of my lemmy-feed and I can't be bothered to login to my lemmy account. But I never engage in the reddit posts with voting and commenting.
  • Youtube: Very much so. Just the normal vanilla youtube experience. (And yes, I use Premium because I use it so heavily. Also the creators I watch get compensated more per view and I can't be bothered to subscribe to every patreon)

Edit:
Honestly, the reddit api-exodus helped me get off entirely from both reddit and lemmy and to reduce my reliance on it during lunch break.

    Laughs in I don't really care and I could use YT on firefox and enable ublock origin but I also use it on my TV so patching APKs is not really easily done and sideloading is a pain. Oh and btw, I don't trust those applicarions witg my google account
