@LianaBrooks@mastodon.online
Abandoned Twitter couple years before I left Facebook. I left Facebook after getting a computer that was more capable than playing FarmVille, then WhatsApp was acquired by Facebook. Then there was a period with Google+ for me.
There was a gap time. Then I found about Mastodon, Fosstodon to be specific, which was founded by people who were active on G+.
I have been on Fediverse since 2019. -
I use it as my primary social media, but can't say that its working for me. Most of the time I just post what other people say, but I dont feel like there are many communities on here except for a self-selecting few
@Condorito @LianaBrooks
Im still getting into it but this is where I'm at. Many of the topics I used to engage with on X are non existent or limited to bots reposting X or substack content. Im not a programmer which seems to be a large swath of content I see rn.Still enjoying the type of stuff I see enough to keep me here and hopeful it continues to grow.

@LianaBrooks I've ended up ditching everything else. I have a Matrix account I still use from time to time, but it's mostly to talk to one person I have no other means to talk to I guess. (Everyone else just ignored me there. People really really do not like Matrix for some reason... I honestly don't quite get the hate, though I do agree it is hardly perfect.)
I do hate the character limits sometimes though. Even on an instance with a larger limit it's often holding me back. (Hey, communication is hard.) Well, it's still better than a certain commercial platform.
Thanks to the way hashtags are used here it has actually been kind of helpful to find some stuff I might not normally run across, so there's that, but I feel like I do see a lot less people.

Neither fedi in general nor Mastodon in specific maintain an editorial control over the content you see. This is not media. This is a social network.
But yeah, it's working for me. Whatever the definition of "working" is supposed to be.
