Is anyone using Mastodon as their primary social media and is it working for you?

[sablebadger@dice.camp]

@LianaBrooks yup, and definitely. I haven't been able to convince anyone from FB to come over, but I've found plenty of cool folks anyway.

[ryanparsley@mastodon.social]

@LianaBrooks yes on both counts for me.

[robyn@yeg.bike]

@LianaBrooks

yes! I left twitter many years ago (pre-covid), then kicked fb I think three years ago, & instagram last year.

couldn't stand every third post I was seeing being an ad or "promoted." I would meet up with friends & acquaintances and realized none of their posts had been shown to me & I felt out of the loop DESPITE being connected. no thanks. love it here

@LianaBrooks

I've used Mastodon for years, and for the last few years it's been my only social media.

I'm very happy with it.

[rfpatterson@mastodon.nz]

@LianaBrooks I think I spend more time on my three #Mastodon servers than I spend on others.Not actually counting though.

[faithinbones@mastodon.social]

@LianaBrooks yes and yes

[analogfusion@mastodon.art]

@LianaBrooks Yes, although I also spend time on BlueSky. It's been working fine; I haven't noticed any technical issues recently.

[ipd@universeodon.com]

@LianaBrooks

Yes and yes.

[maker@woods.secretbearsociety.org]

@LianaBrooks @robyn yes and yes since day 1

[jaythvv@infosec.exchange]

@LianaBrooks I do Mastodon and LinkedIn (only work related) but spend a lot more time here, so would call it "primary" and very much working for me.

[hcbunny@beige.party]

@LianaBrooks

I am currently, and I like it fine at the moment.

[zalasur@mastodon.surazal.net]

@LianaBrooks Yes, and yes

[admin@mastodon.slightlycyberpunk.com]

@LianaBrooks Mastodon is my one and only social media. I had pretty much abandoned social media entirely for a few years before finding and joining Mastodon. It is without a doubt the best experience I've ever had on any social media platform.

Mastodon is not a rage factory as all the other social media platforms were...it is a home.

(Don't get me wrong, there's PLENTY of rage at the news articles being shared...but not about or because of the platform itself.)

[alexhaist@wandering.shop]

@LianaBrooks yeah. I like recognizing people and knowing a little about their lives. Other platforms are on the busy side for me.

[jd@todon.eu]

@LianaBrooks after getting kicked off Facebook more than a week ago I have returned to Mastodon.

I feel that I making new connections and friends but it is a different community to that which I had on Fb. One reason is that my real life friends are not here.

I want to use Mastodon as a micro-blogging platform and use as a base for my sharing and spread a link to my daily Masto blogging distributed by email.

[pseudonym@mastodon.online]

@LianaBrooks

Yes, and yes.

[mloxton@med-mastodon.com]

@LianaBrooks
Yes.
Well enough

[tim_eagon@dice.camp]

@LianaBrooks yep, and it works really well for me.

[cstamp@mastodon.social]

@LianaBrooks Sure.

[vramvoolenaar@mastodon.nlmakers.ca]

@LianaBrooks yes.
