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

[vitaut@mastodon.social]

@LianaBrooks yes

[kristinhenry@vis.social]

@LianaBrooks yes and yes

[0xtero@ohai.social]

@LianaBrooks Yes. Primary and the only one. But my definition of "working for me" is very simple, functional one.

[csolisr@hub.azkware.net]

I use ActivityPub as my primary social media, yes - at least in a POSSE fashion where my posts then land on Bluesky and wherever else. The fact that my #Friendica account can also browse Bluesky and RSS feeds also helps a lot.

[mmeese@nrw.social]

@LianaBrooks Absolutely! I left all the others and I don’t miss a thing.

[axomamma@mastodon.online]

@LianaBrooks Yes and yes.

[holls@sfba.social]

@LianaBrooks

Yes! I love it here. It was hard to give up the “other” social media initially, but I am so glad I did. I just didn’t want to support corrupt billionaires who were filling my feeds with horrible algorithms and relentless ads/ influencers hawking things.

@LianaBrooks
It's my only social media, and it's great for me.

@LianaBrooks security clique moved over here so it's interesting enough for me I guess.

but other communities didn't move that other friends need. without that nucleus, not very handy

[gustodon@mas.to]

@LianaBrooks There's other social media?

[rhw@mastodon.au]

@LianaBrooks
#Mastodon is my only social media since Musk bought Twitter.
I cancelled #Insta at same time.
*edit Yes it works very well for me, so many interesting people and great #'s to follow.

[johafreu@mastodon.social]

@LianaBrooks
Yes, this is my main social media (no fb, no insta, no x) anything is deleted 2022finally - only exception currently is #linkedin for my business connections.
After I found my peers on Mastodon I never regretted the step - anyhow as always a fresh start is intense but expands own perspective in the long run!

[christinemalec@mstdn.ca]

@LianaBrooks Yes and yes

[vwdasher@mymasto.com]

@LianaBrooks yes and absolutely!

[johnnythan@tuebingen.network]

@LianaBrooks Yes.

[gwyn@kolektiva.social]

@LianaBrooks

It's pretty much my only social media, besides some online forums. It works for me, but I'm not a heavy user.

[andrewbriscoe@mastodon.social]

@LianaBrooks 100%. I’ve only used Mastodon for around 4 years and haven’t looked back.

[ppb1701@ppb.social]

@LianaBrooks Me. I'm on here more than anywhere else.

[lawyersgunsnmoney@mstdn.social]

@LianaBrooks Yes and yes. People are overwhelmingly great to interact with. I’m long done with surveillance state/Fascist-controlled social media.

[lebochequirit@social.tchncs.de]

@LianaBrooks
Yes and yes, for > 6 years and it's good for my mental health.
