I mostly use a piefed account, though I have a sopuli.xyz, fedia.io and mastodon as well. I also used Kbin, Mbin and lemm.ee when it was still around.

Never much liked mastodon. I’m not sure if the place just isn’t large enough or what but I ultimately find it pretty meh. I tend to use bluesky if I want microblog style content.

I liked fedia and Kbin a lot for how they integrated mastodon and Lemmy into one feed for me to interact with. But you’ll rarely see me comment from there anymore.

I currently use my sopuli.xyz account to scroll through a more diverse feed featuring languages I may not know and people I am unfamiliar with as an American.

tried mastodon did not understand how it works lemmy felt familiar so I stayed

I’m becoming a bigger and bigger fan of peer tube.

I also had mastadon for a non profit I supported and it seems like a good community with good content and lots of it.

At the same time, I’ve litterally never understood that particular way of both creating and interacting with content (I never understood Twitter, still don’t get it).

I have tried Mastodon but I guess I realized that I didn’t like the Twitter-format, no matter who is using it. I’m not interested that much in trying the other Fediverse software/platforms. Lemmy is most used because it reminded me of what Reddit should be in idealization, though it too, needs some work.

No. One social media is enough. Lemmy meets all my needs.

The use case of Reddit/lemmy is entirely different from Twitter/x/mastodon. In Reddit/lemmy, there’s a topic of interest, and people chime in. In Twitter/etc, there’s people of interest, and they discuss topics.

I don’t care who is talking, I just want to talk about stuff. So the twitter style has zero interest for me.

Twitter wasn’t a thing for me way before the Nazis bought it, so I don’t know why a replacement for it would be the thing for me now. I don’t know what that other thing is.

The concept of twitter was never appealing to me, so I naturally won’t like platforms that ape it. I joined Reddit at the time because the Minecraft sub seemed like it was getting more attention from Mojang vs the forums. I stayed because the entire IT industry is on Reddit. I left because of the API nonsense in 2023.

Honestly the two big problems I see with the fediverse are the political stridency of the userbase and the friction of picking an instance when you don’t know what that even means. The first problem, as I’ve said elsewhere, is somewhat a result of fedi users self selecting (again I include myself in here) and might resolve on its own if mainstream platforms enshittify to the point that even the normies can’t take it anymore and we figure out a way to onboard people better. These problems are probably why I don’t try other fedi platforms.

But I’m rambling again. I haven’t slept well in days.

I’m more of a forum user than a microblogger, and google says sharkey is a kids haircut place

I don’t care about the social media as much as I care about keeping the app I already know how to use lol. I used boost for reddit for years, then I changed to boost for lemmy.

I tried mastodon but it’s not really the sort of thing I use even when there are accounts for me to follow. Also the way it links with Lemmy feels weird, you can always tell when someone replies to a post from mastodon because the formats don’t link very well.

Started with Lemmy & Pixelfed earlier this year.

Now:

• 60% Mastodon (largely watch parties like #KungFuSat, #Monsterdon etc)
• 35% Piefed (threadiverse like Lemmy)
• 5% NeoDB (media logging & collections like Letterboxd, Goodreads etc)

I don’t use Pixelfed any more cuz images only doesn’t really interest me.

I have a PeerTube account but don’t browse much and have only uploaded a handful of files. Might do more in future.

I tried Hubzilla, but soon got locked out of my account (password error?). Haven’t bothered trying to reactivate yet, but might.

I have a Sharkey account, mainly to try something “Mastodon-like” but with more functionality (longer posts, markup, etc). But my timeline is too dominated by a handful of users, and it’s no good for watch parties, so I barely use it.

I got an account on Gush (media logging/blogging?) thinking it was like NeoDB, but now I think you’re literally supposed to gush 😁 about some media / game with a long review, whereas I mainly want tracking, lists, ratings.

I’ve done a couple of pages on Ibis (wiki from Lemmy developers), but until it becomes more developed & widespread, I’m contributing to joinfediverse.wiki.

I’m considering trying out Mbin, to unify my threadiverse & blogging universes and some other features.

I have a mastodon :3 not so much for the other services tho

With Mastodon, I saw no value since there was no content besides American political whining when I last looked.

I tried pixelfed but nobody was using it when I last looked.

Bluesky is ATP but similar problem as Mastodon. There’s no content except Americans whining and facebook tier political image macros. Unless you disable adult content filters, then you get to see obese hairy man asshole spreads with no way to avoid homosexual content when you’re not homosexual because word filters don’t do anything if the poster didn’t use those words in the text body or hashtags. So it’s not great for porn either. On top of that, there’s a lot of content thieves who don’t credit their reposts.

Peertube…buffering…404.
