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

[kanamauna@sauropods.win]

@LianaBrooks

Yes, this is my one and only. No regrets.

[tattooed_mummy@beige.party]

@LittlePolarBear @Condorito @LianaBrooks I barely see any coding stuff. Just enough to remind me it exists. You just need to find your people

[kamrathobbit@camp.smolnet.org]

@LianaBrooks #mosstodon alone makes this the best socmed on the internet. I do not post anywhere else online anymore (except maybe LinkedIn, but that's because I have a vain hope to become hired in software at some point).

[diraquel@masto.pt]

@LianaBrooks yes and yes. 😊

[malte@radikal.social]

@LianaBrooks I am and I wouldn't say it is working for me yet. Working well enough to have some fun and learn things while I use it. But I miss 99% of my actual social networks, so for the time being I am mostly here to do something of value that will help the fediverse become attractive.

[tizlit@freeradical.zone]

@LianaBrooks yes and yes. No one from my real life is on it but I don't need to follow my friends on social media

[lucastucious@ludosphere.fr]

@LianaBrooks it's working if you want to be less stressed, less stimulated, and can be cool with the fact that maybe no one we will se your messages.

[gergolippai@mastodon.social]

@LianaBrooks yes/yes

[jeridansky@sfba.social]

@LianaBrooks Yes and yes. Actually my only social media.

[ewerybody@mastodon.social]

@LianaBrooks yes & yes!
And ooof I'm so glad to be off the hook with twixer.. I guess it depends a little on the scenes you're in. Might be some are still rather small. But it's growing :) keep going 🤘

[randulo@mastodon.social]

@LianaBrooks it's the best for added value. But don't you find it ironic that most people on the planet carry a phone 24/7 yet use social networks to interact with friends and family? Email would better serve that purpose if phone calls aren't your thing. Part of the value of Mastodon is the intellectual diversity. I'd like to see more ethnic and cultural of that. Friends and family via public networks? Why?

[gergolippai@mastodon.social]

@LianaBrooks although I also use Pixelfed and Lemmy. and especially in case of Pixelfed, sometimes I use it more than Mastodon (depending on whether I crave text content or image content.)

[jbenjamint@mastodon.scot]

@LianaBrooks yes and yes.

Feels like the most I've ever enjoyed social media.

[motroet@troet.cafe]

@LianaBrooks yes!@sudelsurium

[wanderingleaf@retro.pizza]

@LianaBrooks My two most used social media are Mastodon and Tumblr and I'm very happy with it.

[radgryd@mstdn.games]

@LianaBrooks Yup. No complaints here.

[chriswere@toot.wales]

@LianaBrooks Yes and very much yes

[gunstick@mastodon.opencloud.lu]

@LianaBrooks yesterday I got a multi page explainer about the processors in the playstation 3 after casually commenting on a random post about another CPU having issues.

So yes.

[seeker@procial.tchncs.de]

@motroet@troet.cafe @LianaBrooks@mastodon.online
Yes

[loganfive@beige.party]

@LianaBrooks Yes and yes.

I love knowing our admin and knowing any donation I make goes directly into supporting our instance.

And this is really an amazing place to be. Lots of great people and lots of great tools to filter out the a-holes. I wish I had these Fediverse tools in real life.

Plus no ads is great and I love knowing that I’m not supporting some billionaire a-holes.
