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

[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.

@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.

Our Mastodon experience is what we make it. With the setting available to us we can tailor our experience to what we want it to be. That's what makes it the perfect SM for me.
