Like a lot of other posters, not hard at all. I miss /r/Daddit. I miss /r/Datahoarder but the selfhosted community here is strong and seems to have absorbed some home networking, datahoarder, etc topics.

Surprisingly easy. I just come to Lemmy now, and I use social media less overall too. It's been better for my mental health

Leaving Twitter for Hive Social was a no-brainer. Almost anything that isn't heralded by that sycophant Musk was a win.

I don't use TikTok, Instagram, WhatsApp .etc so that's easy to avoid.

Reddit is more or less a struggle, obviously I'm still there to a degree because their numbers outweigh Lemmy's and I do like the feeling of instant interactivity because of those numbers.

Abandoning social media has never been too difficult for me. I deleted all Meta (back then still Facebook) platform accounts after the large phone number leak. I deleted my Twitter account after Musk took over (could foresee the stupidity). I deleted my Reddit account because of the API change announcement.

Make me angry enough and I'll leave your platform. The platform needs me more than I need it.

Not hard at all. I'm not a very well connected person and beyond that I value what the Fediverse is all about. I used to casual-browse Reddit. Now I don't even do that.

it was easy. I never had any social media.

Not hard at all. There's so much here to see and interact with.

I deleted my reddit account and never looked back. It wss an adjustment, but with a little patience I got used to how lemmy works.

Reddit made it pretty easy to stop - their app is so bad I just don't bother logging in much.

I still check in a bit as I have a few open dialogues going but I don't browse it anymore.

Twitter is harder - too many people I follow.

As soon as RIF stopped working while I was in the middle of using it, I made an account on Lemmy.World and haven't looked at Reddit again since.

Didn't care, just deleted. Only told my wife who would wonder why I stopped following her.

it was a really easy transition

Depends on what exactly is considered a social media site. Most of them I never really used, so "easy". Reddit was the biggest one for me, and well they made my choice for me when they decided they didn't want to let me browse it in a decent way.

About 2 clicks and few fingy taps on the keyboard.

So not too bad, unless you don't have fingies, might be a bit more difficult.

Honestly, not hard at all. I've already been perma banned from reddit, (Mohamed raped a 9 year old, and reddit doesn't like that particular fact about that particular religion), and I was only using it sparingly through alts. Lemmy feels so much better. Yeah, it's has some tankies, but holy hell we can actually talk here.
