I have fully transitioned to using Lemmy and Mastodon right when third party apps weren’t allowed on Spez’s place anymore, so I don’t know how it is over there anymore.
What do you use? Are you still switching between the two, essentially dualbooting?
What other social media do you use? How do you feel about Fediverse social media platforms in general?
(I’m sorry if I’m the 100th person to ask this on here…)
My best friends are my social media
That’s the best type of social (media)
hey, I know this funi! I’ve seen this guy on 196 before!
yeah i basically only use lemmy and watch youtube videos, or i pirate media, play games with friends, or do stupid stuff with my computer that i shouldnt be allowed to do
Ok that is fair. I commented on someone elses comment here that they should try out PeerTube, as that is a decentralized option with all the benefits of the fediverse.
it does have the deficit of not having anybody i regularly watch on there, although i would love that to change
It’s my only social media. I have Voyager, and it’s all I need. I never used FB or Twitter, or anything other than Reddit. And I’m done with that cesspool.
For an entire 8 days.
I made a new account recently, I used to be on Lemmy.world, but as I start to learned more about how the fediverse works, I wanted to get away from the giant main instance, help spread the users out.
Perhaps there is a way to transfer some account history? I didn’t find any, so now I’m a Fediverse baby again.
Idk this is my first account, ha.
Started on lemmy today after reddit perma banned my 14 year old account for breaking the first rule of reddit. I may have told some to kill themselves. I’m definitely in the wrong but I don’t care I’m taking the ban personally and never using it again.
They banned me for giving my opinion on how child molesters should be punished and then permabanned me for doing it again when I got back. Funny thing is people say the exact same kind of shit about all kinds of other people and those comments are fine… weird how they only care to protect people who molest children.
I lost my 10+ yr old account because I got auto banned from a mess of subs for leaving a comment on an anti vax sub CRITICAL of them. You have to love lazy mods who ban without any consideration of context. Now I just glance at the posts and comments and avoid the urge to participate.
I only use lemmy. Unless youtube counts but I don’t think so.
It is. Both lemmy and Mastodon.
I cannot use Reddit or Twitter anymore.
Yes but I am enjoying Bluesky a lot this week in the wake of its rapid expansion while that hellpit Twitter burns. A really nice feature is that they have block lists, where someone makes a list of MAGA people or whatever and you can block them all at a click.
I just wish bluesky had an app on F-Droid (preferably GPL3)
I bet they will,things are moving quickly.
Yeah, pretty much. This and Discord really. Signal for P2P messaging.
Lemmy has replaced reddit for me.
It is, I don’t go on Reddit anymore, it’s insanely toxic. I’ve gotten all I could’ve gotten from there anyway. I only use Lemmy nowadays.
Lemmy is now. Followed by reddit, which I visit less and less. And no it doesn’t feel like dual booting, there seem to be so many of the same people here, with the same issues and anger. But I prefer the lemmy UI and absense of ads. The lack of a personal karma total might be keeping at least some of them away.
I use Cara, but that’s because I am an artist.
Is that like a new deviantart
Yeah? Sorta? It is created by Jingna Zhang who you may recognize from deviantart back in the day. Cara has a pretty aggressive no AI policy and still technically in beta I believe. The vibes are super good though, everyone is pretty cheerful and happy and there does not seem to be any monetization whatsoever other than politely asking people to donate if they enjoy the app. Although that may change in the future.
Lemmy and BlueSky (primarily Lemmy).
BlueSky’s mobile app is such a clone of twitter, transitioning is nearly seamless for the average user. I tried mastodon at first, but it felt pretty rocky and different (and I’m rather techy).
Between BlueSky and Voyager for Lemmy (I was an Apollo user on Reddit), my user experience hasn’t changed at all – except for the pleasant lack of bots and Nazis on both platforms.
Friendica is also nice and looks like 2008ish Twitter but not so full, sadly. For reference if anyone interested:
FYI the official Mastodon mobile app is pretty limited; you can’t even view the global timeline (the web clients are fine). Most Mastodon users prefer using unofficial apps such as Tusky, Fedilab, or Megalodon.
I went full Lemmy for a while but have to admit I’m reading reddit again, but without their dumb app. Just the web browser.
Looking through a few subreddits, see what’s new for five minutes. I don’t post anymore, don’t have an account.
I don’t post anymore, don’t have an account.
Yap, I nuked it too
