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

@LianaBrooks

Yeah and I'm addicted, but I really wish it had a better discovery process. Lots of people have complained about it. There are several sites that attempt to index content but they are designed for aliens and unusable.

I barely ever use Facebook any more, it's just a tool with a couple of useful chats on it, but the random feed and cross-pollution on it was actually *useful* at times.

On Mastodon, even through feeds, it's a dark, quiet place.

[radundtat@berlin.social]

@LianaBrooks Yes and yes

[rq@river.group.lt]

@LianaBrooks, yep. I still have my Facebook profile but I have cleaned it up almost complately and only use it for a few FB groups and Messenger.

[kofzmann@toots.nu]

@LianaBrooks yes and no. Mastodon is my Twitter, Lemmy is my Reddit, Pixelfed is my Instagram and Loops is my TikTok - all works great. However I have not found a Fediversed Facebook, GitHub and LinkedIn yet so the digital migration is not completed

[tootbrute@fedi.arkadi.one]

@LianaBrooks yes. only one i use. working? i hear about cool weird computer things and i guess the us politics. working fine for me. wish more people who lived in Taiwan used it.

[tofticles@helvede.net]

@LianaBrooks Yes and yes. 😄 Been my only SoMe for two and a half years or so.

Both for a sense of community on my local instance as well as keeping up-to-date with news that is generally not very well covered on traditional media.

[energisch_@troet.cafe]

@LianaBrooks yes, but only private, not business.

[jurjen_heeck@mastodon.nl]

@LianaBrooks Yes and yes! For several years now.

[grb090423@mastodon.social]

@LianaBrooks

Yes,

Yes.

[su_liam@mas.to]

@LianaBrooks Yes, and it’s working great.

[jonchevreau@mstdn.ca]

@LianaBrooks Yes, since late 2022

[jorismeys@mstdn.social]

@LianaBrooks
Yes and yes. But I don't expect much from social media to be fair. Interesting ppl, a nice chat here and there, some news, nice pics of cats and flowers, no shite shoved in my face by a dark algorithm.

[rhold@norden.social]

@LianaBrooks yes and yes.

So glad to be free from algorithmic control.

[voxofgod@beige.party]

@LianaBrooks it's my only social media

And yea it gets better too

[masek@infosec.exchange]

@LianaBrooks Yes, Social Media started out with G+ for me. Nowadays I am on Mastodon only. And it works great. I learn a lot here, 99+% of all interactions are very civil.

[mariekehelmes@beige.party]

@LianaBrooks Me. Yes.

[zjaan@mastodon.nl]

@adhdeanasl @LianaBrooks Agree!

[blippythewonderslug@ieji.de]

@LianaBrooks
Duh. Yes to both.

[dragswolf@writing.exchange]

@LianaBrooks yes and yes. Makes my life much simpler and easier.
