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

[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

[joacim@mastodon.melin.org]

@LianaBrooks
Yes.
Yes.

[beadsland@beige.party]

@LianaBrooks

Only social media. Sufficient.

[heinragas@mublog.nl]

@LianaBrooks When I left Twitter in November 2022, I got my own server and I haven't looked back since. Yes and yes.

[leor1010@mastodonsweden.se]

@LianaBrooks Yes and yes! 😊 2 years since I deleted my last other SoMe, Instagram. I have Pixelfed, but I don’t use it.

[nusquam_tuta_fides@mastodon.com.pl]

@LianaBrooks Yes and yes. Never used Facebook (yep, there are such people), ditched Instagram a couple of years ago after they deleted my account without explanation. I have to use Discord to stay in touch with my friends (as nobody have the slightest will to try fedi), but I consider it a success that I dragged them out of FB Messenger at least. I have an opinion among them of beng antisocial, nerdy, paranoid and difficult to contact. Ehh.

[realn2s@infosec.exchange]

@LianaBrooks
Yes and yes.
Coming from Twitter the security community here quickly became vibrant 😁
Loosely found other communities as well

[toxy@mastodon.acc.sunet.se]

@LianaBrooks Yes. Very much so.

[poleguy@mastodon.social]

@LianaBrooks yes. Yes. I said Facebook was a fad when it started and waited for this.

[julesbl@mastodon.me.uk]

@LianaBrooks
Yes and yes, not even got membership of anything else apart from WhatsApp which i need for family

[jonathan@selea.se]

@LianaBrooks Jepp

[laxsill@social.spejset.org]

@LianaBrooks Yes. Also use some other fedi systems (pixelfed, lemmy, bookwyrm) and also I keep linkedin because I love the cringe but I rarely use it at all. I invested some time and love to my mastodon feed and I've gotten it back ten times.

[fasnix@fe.disroot.org]

@LianaBrooks
Well, I started my Fediverse-journey in 2018 on Mastodon, but have since migrated to Firefish, Iceshrimp, now Akkoma and Sharkey, and pixelfed as well.

However, yes, I use the Fediverse exclusively since the end of '22.

[susiemagoo@mstdn.social]

@LianaBrooks me, and yes!

[muenchnerin@sueden.social]

@LianaBrooks

Yes + Yes.

The fediverse is the best open social network I've ever been. (I'm certainly not only connected to people with mastodon, it is one of the great features that we have different services interconnected).

It is not perfect, but rather good.

[zongora@social.vivaldi.net]

@LianaBrooks Yes and yes massively! I really enjoy Mastodon and also Pixelfed, Peertube; these are perfectly matched for my purpose.
