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!

    I used reddit and discord. Now I use lemmy and discord and occasionally mastodon but I dislike the format.

    Mastodon and Instagram(To chat with friends) For contacting I use Matrix, XMPP, Telegram and IRC.

    Not really. I watch YouTube videos with Invidious and yt-dlp, I lurk Reddit through RedReader, and I occasionally lurk Twitter through Nitter (but only very briefly). Lemmy is the only social media that I actively partake/interfere in.

    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.

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

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

    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.
