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

[dmtomas@mastodon.social]

@LianaBrooks mastadon & technically linked in (only as job add site). Never learned to use any of the social apps for social suff, hence using it as my news source in the morning, and for an occasional scream into the abyss therapy session. I guess it works for that;)

@LianaBrooks oc

[anandphilipc@sigmoid.social]

@LianaBrooks yes. it's the only networked thing im on besides direct messaging software.

[tedvangeest@mstdn.social]

@LianaBrooks 2 x yes

[clarkiestar@mas.to]

@LianaBrooks yes and yes. The lack of algorithm is bliss. My adhd was very prone to addiction with the other socials. The lack of fascists on here is also bliss!

[klappspatack@troet.cafe]

@LianaBrooks Yes. Since 6 years. Before Mastodon I used google+. I have never been on the big social media platforms. So I don't know what I'm missing out.

[maciek33@wspanialy.eu]

@LianaBrooks double yes

[peterlg@theblower.au]

@LianaBrooks

Mastodon is my *only* social media platform, and it works perfectly for me.

[jak@defcon.social]

@LianaBrooks I tried to reopen Reddit after two months without and I’ve been overwhelmed by the flood of suggested communities, commercials and post from subreddits I don’t remember I subscribed.

So yes: mastodon is more than enough for me

[janl@narrativ.es]

@LianaBrooks yup

[kentnavalesi@mstdn.social]

@LianaBrooks
Yes and yes. I feel like I've finally found my people.

[melissabeartrix@gives.hugz.online]

@LianaBrooks

Yes yes yes

More than I expected

@LianaBrooks Check my profile.

(I also don't use Facebook or Instagram or Bluesky)

[androcat@toot.cat]

@LianaBrooks Yes and yes.

[jess@blop.social]

@LianaBrooks Yes and yes.

[kinsale42@mstdn.games]

@LianaBrooks it's my primary scroller and yes it replaces twitter quite well for me. The only thing missing (the Overwatch community), I can currently get from discord as a secondary (maybe 30-40 folks max).

[kinsale42@mstdn.games]

@LianaBrooks the cats here are just as good as anywhere else

[earthshaking@mastodon.eternalaugust.com]

@LianaBrooks yes, and yeah "I guess". I still miss cohost dot org, though. That was the best place, for me.

[aoanla@hachyderm.io]

@LianaBrooks if by "primary" you mean "the one you actually post on" then yes (for micro blogging style stuff at least).

It's working very well so far.

[jonathankoren@sfba.social]

@LianaBrooks yes and yes.

I have no interest in participating on corporate controlled social media. That’s been a fool’s errand for past 20 years
