    Pretty much just Lemmy.

    I never understood the attraction of twitter, so mastodon doesn’t appeal to me either.

      I never understood the attraction of twitter, so mastodon doesn’t appeal to me either.

      I won’t try to convince you, but I am exactly like you, I still use Twitter from time to time (although not as Elon wants, I use this version) anyway, still just use it from time to time, but I gave it a chance to Mastodon (Moshidon and Megalodon clients) and I really liked to follow hashtags, I think I find more interesting content that way compared to whatever Twitter algorithm wants to show me, with that said it is not perfect, but it is definitely an improvement because, not everyone is advertising themselves there, so you pretty much need to work your way to curate your stuff (which as I have said, found it better) and it is not very different than following communities here, I dislike that even when I have filtered out languages many foreign languages still leak in the posts (something that I have not suffered here).

      And even when both Mastodon and Lemmy are a shadow compared to Twitter and Reddit I still find more “niche” stuff in Mastodon than Lemmy, for example I have had some talks about Hotel Dusk and The Last Window (DS games) there and I don’t recall having that interaction here, but that could just be because Mastodon might be more popular and has a higher user base (just as the corporation ones are).

      I mean, I go on twitter daily, but only to follow artists, and, like… game devs for short form news updates.

      Not whatever… most people apparently use it for.

      I also use userscripts that prevent the ‘for you’ tab from ever showing up or being selected.

      I used to not understand it either. Now I understand that for normal people, it is an RSS reader where you just get notified when the sources you follow have something to say. For celebrities and organizations it is an advertising platform where they can remind their followers of their existence and tell them what they are doing.

    I’m sort of aware of Mastodon and occasionally click a link to it. Otherwise just Lemmy and even that doesn’t gain much from federation afaict. I can’t exactly say the fediverse vision is falling since I don’t really understand what it was supposed to be in the first place. But I don’t see much to get excited about.

    I have a mastodon account, but I use it more like an RSS feed (which I also have). The microblogging format isnt very appealing to me for discussion so I do that here.

    Mastodon, Peertube, PixelFed, and (unfortunately) Threads. [I’m forced to have a Threads account because of my job in media. I’m on Instagram and Twitter for the same reason]

    I’m also super excited for Loops, but it hasn’t launched yet.

    About to reopen a matrix account. Mostly for tech support.

    Didn’t really like Twitter, Mastodon holds no interest really.

    I do like Lemmy a lot but mostly awaiting a search engine and the rest of the Reddit subs moving over.

    Maybe there’s room for a fediverse fb in my life but I don’t see the world moving over anytime soon. I loathe fb but find some of the groups too useful to leave.

      The first is like twitter, what are the other 3? I’ve never heard of them.

    All of them 😃

    It wasn’t too long ago that I bit the bullet and decided to get involved in social media. All my social media accounts except for the Discord account I made 2 years ago are only a few weeks or a few months old at most.
