I’m curious if any of you still use anything other than fediverse. Since discovering it last year I’ve deleted all my non fedi social media, and it feels great!

    Nope.

    Tried the big two didn’t get anything out of it.

    Dropped Reddit during the big storm.

    I’m fine with things as they are now.

    The lower amount of content on Lemmy is balanced by the increased quality and the fact I can’t spend all day on here

      Same here. Had it all back in the day but gradually ended up winding everything else but Lemmy down. These days I stick to RSS and Lemmy. Good balance of quality content and entertainment.

    Nope. I will never use centralised social media again. Too many years exposed to social media that just doesn’t give a shit about the welfare of its users

    LinkedIn for job shit only. I don’t like follow and comment and shit. I don’t really get the whole point.

      I too loathe LinkedIn, but have to use it. To make myself feel better, I spend an equal amount of time on shlinkedin afterwards.

    Reddit, Twitter, BlueSky. Does Discord count as social media?

    There’s something insular and self-righteous about the fediverse so I’ll never only use it. But lemmy is pretty great.

    Since Musk bought Twitter I’ve been more active on Tumblr and as long as you don’t go anywhere that takes itself too seriously, it’s actually refreshing and lovely.

    Similarly, when I signed up for Bluesky I decided I’d only follow people I know IRL and artists, and to not be afraid to use the mute or block, and it’s been great. Just a steady stream of art and people discussing art.

    I’ve also got Mastodon, Pillowfort, and Cohost accounts I never really use.

    All of them. If a social media site exists, I’m on it. I have the world record for the most sites having signed up for.

    Yes, one beside Lemmy out of necessity. There is this app called LINE that started as a humble instant messaging service to serve as a communication aid during the Tohoku Earthquake in Japan. Now it tries to be everything: payment, shopping, interest groups, food ordering, ride calling, music, news, loaning money, etc.

    I only use the LINE core function to get by every day, because everyone around me is using it, casually and professionally. My country is using it for everything, even in governmental affairs. It’s however only very popular in Japan, Taiwan, Indonesia, and Thailand, where I reside. There are theories regarding why it is so popular in those countries, but one I believe is its “cuteness” functionality, where you can send “stickers” to each other, something like an elaborated emoji.

      I, too, use LINE regularly because I used to live in Japan and have many friends there I’m in regular contact with. I agree with you that the cuteness is a significant factor for its popularity.

    I tried screaming the latest r/new posts on the subway but I got stabbed. No more social media outside for me.
