I have fully transitioned to using Lemmy and Mastodon right when third party apps weren’t allowed on Spez’s place anymore, so I don’t know how it is over there anymore.

What do you use? Are you still switching between the two, essentially dualbooting?

What other social media do you use? How do you feel about Fediverse social media platforms in general?

(I’m sorry if I’m the 100th person to ask this on here…)

    I stopped using Reddit a few years before the whole stupidity, because the culture was fucking with my head.

    Then I did the Mastodons for two years or so, with Lemmy eventually entering the mix. And then as Lemmy got more users and content, it took over as my preferred platform.

    Yes. For over a year, from Reddit. Although I like Bluesky more than I expected. Also Discuit is awesome.

    I’m on Lemmy essentially 99% of the time. When I’m on Reddit it’s because of niche hobbies that have more presence there. It’s very rare. (Or search index results.)

    I never use Mastodon. I was only on Twitter for very niche and interactive hobbies that do not have enough people to engage with on Mastodon. I mostly use BlueSky now but still use Twitter on occasion. It’s like 50/50 at the moment, but that’s a lot considering my BlueSky account is only like two weeks old.

    Lemmy has enough content to keep me entertained for general browsing and most of my hobbies.

    I’d say I actively use Lemmy and Discord nowadays (as in, I’m making new posts there). Some times I leave a comment under a YouTube video, other times I lurk Reddit just to see what other people have said about XYZ topic.

    I used to be a very frequent user of Reddit during much of my adolescence, but got tired of it a few months ago. I’m not exactly sure what caused it, maybe the increased toxicity, or that some subreddits got boring after they reached a certain number of subscribers. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    I use Lemmy and Mastodon about equally. I find I like Lemmy for discussions, while Mastodon is good for news just because there are a lot more users overall, and you can follow different news feeds on it.

    Yes but I am enjoying Bluesky a lot this week in the wake of its rapid expansion while that hellpit Twitter burns. A really nice feature is that they have block lists, where someone makes a list of MAGA people or whatever and you can block them all at a click.

    Lemmy is now. Followed by reddit, which I visit less and less. And no it doesn’t feel like dual booting, there seem to be so many of the same people here, with the same issues and anger. But I prefer the lemmy UI and absense of ads. The lack of a personal karma total might be keeping at least some of them away.
