@LianaBrooks not my primary social media platform but it hasnt given me any problems in the nearly 4 years ive been on it
-
@LianaBrooks Yes this is my primary social media interaction but I am not as satisfied with it as I would wish to be. It's harder to find the types of accounts I am interested in following - predominantly news and arts/culture - but it feels safer and more affirming than twitter ever did. Still, I would like more community within my interests.

I'm wondering if you have tried following/searching by tags related to your interests. That's how I usually find my people.

@LianaBrooks it's my only social media and I am very happy with it.
-
@LianaBrooks Yes, and not really. The app I’m using (the mastodon app) doesn’t seem super reliable so there are days I can’t load it on my phone (and I know I should try a different app but I haven’t). Mostly I don’t feel really connected here, which is mostly because I don’t interact regularly. But it just hasn’t replaced the feeling of friends and connection I had on fb. (I won’t go back to Facebook though.)

@LianaBrooks
Yes, and what do you mean by "working for you"? -
@LianaBrooks primary? It's my *only* social media (unless you count Signal, Matrix, or email).
Once I got settled on Mastodon, I poisoned and deleted my last remaining social accounts.
I have zero regrets.
@alice @LianaBrooks SAME.

@iwein @Tusky @LianaBrooks Maybe I will try Tusky! And I will wish us both luck in finding a sense of connection. I’m really lucky to have connections outside of social media - a couple book clubs, and I facilitate a couple peer groups and am doing some collective narrative projects. But I still really miss the feeling I used to have in social media spaces, that felt like casually running across friends in public space. Maybe it will come with time.

@LianaBrooks Yep, I'm only on Masto and Plurk. I don't need any other SocMed in my life.

@LianaBrooks I don't use it completely. I still have some content on X, Instagram and Facebook. Much because of my family members and the content that we share between us (me and my wife). I tried to convince her to use it here, but it wasn't good.

Yes, and Kind Of.
I'd prefer if mastodon started off as a shitty facebook clone instead of a shitty twitter clone.

@LianaBrooks
Yes and yes.I don’t want wide reach and I don’t want promoted content in my feed.
I want to find nice weirdos and be weird on the internet together.

@LianaBrooks not just pimary, but exclusively. No other account onany other platform. Guess iI’ll never be an influencer. Couldn’t be happier about that

yes and yes. Left Twitter 3 years ago and have enjoyed being in the Fediverse ever since. Being able to manage who and what topics I follow has been great.

@LianaBrooks Yes & yes, except I read the youTube comments more if I need the get some trashy. Masto users are mostly pretty chill & smart folks.
