Is anyone using Mastodon as their primary social media and is it working for you?

[wendinoakland@beige.party]

@LianaBrooks @dusk Yes, yes!

[hteasley@mastodon.scot]

@LianaBrooks @dusk Yep. By far better than anything else. Blue sky a distant second.

[mirishuli@mstdn.social]

@rebelyn2 @LianaBrooks Do you follow any hashtags?

[crcollins@writing.exchange]

@LianaBrooks

Yes. The only other one I have is Bluesky & I don't spend much time there. I get better interactions & good conversations here.

@Mikal @LianaBrooks i actually responded before I noticed because it is so immaculate. I looped back when I realized I had been played

[grizolda@sfba.social]

@LianaBrooks yep, for two years!

[montaagge@kolektiva.social]

@Mikal @LianaBrooks mastodon was the first social media to have age verification. Our age verification is flawless. No one would bother to join mastodon if they weren't practically senile already.

[mikal@sfba.social]

@Montaagge @LianaBrooks

Oh, I responded because it is a legitimate and interesting question. But also, guaranteed engagement bait. Not in a bad way like a commercial sites.

[the5thcolumnist@mstdn.ca]

@LianaBrooks

YES & YES

[innowen@wellduck.me]

@LianaBrooks I am. and i enjoy it so far

[gcvsa@mstdn.plus]

@LianaBrooks Define "primary" and define "working for you"?

I don't use social media in an attempt to become famous or become an "infleuncer".

[montaagge@kolektiva.social]

@Mikal @LianaBrooks absolutely perfect but I knee jerk responded I looked back and everyone had said the same thing

[shansterable@ohai.social]

@LianaBrooks
Yes. It's awesome.
I deleted my Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn accounts and went all in on Mastodon. Best decision ever. Fuck that shit.

[tiffany@disabled.social]

@LianaBrooks Yes, and not really. The app I’m using (the mastodon app) doesn’t seem super reliable so there are days I can’t load it on my phone (and I know I should try a different app but I haven’t). Mostly I don’t feel really connected here, which is mostly because I don’t interact regularly. But it just hasn’t replaced the feeling of friends and connection I had on fb. (I won’t go back to Facebook though.)

[alipunk@thecanadian.social]

@LianaBrooks yes and I'm much happier here than anything I tried since like 2005

[bumblefish@mastodon.scot]

@LianaBrooks Yep, it's enough. I can connect with local people and far away people who share interests. It's true there's a lack of diversity, and that makes it less engaging for me, but I view that as a plus because there are things I'd like to do outside of cyberspace, and this being somewhat less engaging is a feature not a bug.

[teflontrout@beige.party]

@LianaBrooks yes and yes

I left imgur for here

[lana@beige.party]

@LianaBrooks yes and yes

[alice@lgbtqia.space]

@LianaBrooks primary? It's my *only* social media (unless you count Signal, Matrix, or email).

Once I got settled on Mastodon, I poisoned and deleted my last remaining social accounts.

I have zero regrets.

[miss_rodent@girlcock.club]

@LianaBrooks Yes to both; It is the only 'social media' account I still have (other than chat apps), I've deleted all the others.
