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

[journeysinfilm@hcommons.social]

@LianaBrooks We would really, really, really love it if we had enough interaction with people in education (in the broadest sense) and film here that we could leave corporate social media and still achieve the numbers we need (i.e., resource downloads, newsletter sign-ups, new filmmaker business contacts, and donations). That's not on track to happen soon, but as more people keep joining Fedi, it gets closer to reality!

[barneydellar@mastodon.scot]

@LianaBrooks Yes, and yes :)

Poisoned? What?

[leonianuniverse@caneandable.social]

@AdaraAstin @LianaBrooks Yes, I use Masto as my primary social media and have been for the past couple years now. Its been a great experience, not sure how many followers I have, but I really don't care all that much, I'm just grateful people want to even read any posts about me at all in the first place.

[rasterweb@mastodon.social]

@LianaBrooks A hearty yes and yes!

[cosmictraveler@mastodon.social]

@LianaBrooks Yes, and I love it 💓

[bart@smop.fyi]

@LianaBrooks @vladimir_lu Yes. I went from mailinglists and Usenet to Twitter and then Mastodon, mostly as a consumer, so no need to worry about who I can reach.

It’s plenty to feel connected to the rest of the world.

[ndw@toot.wales]

@LianaBrooks Yep.

@LianaBrooks
Maybe not primary, but definitely preferred. I am trapped in Facebook by work and keeping in touch with family.
Mastodon works well for me, it's a friendly, sensible space with lots of good interaction.

[samebchase@fantastic.earth]

@LianaBrooks Absolutely yes to both.

[tina@openbiblio.social]

@LianaBrooks
I do and it does work for me. 🙂

[cargot_robbie@urbanists.social]

@LianaBrooks Yep. It's my only social networking account, unless you count YouTube. I like my fedi experience.

[thmcguire@mastodon.social]

@LianaBrooks Yes, and yes. I suspect I miss things on other platforms that might be interesting. I know 100% I am missing things on other platforms that are terrible. It’s a trade off I’m happy to make. I’m over 60 years old, so most of my life I learned about current events through newspapers, community groups, and talking with family and friends.

[snowyca@social.vivaldi.net]

@LianaBrooks yes and yes.

[thejaysunday@mamot.fr]

@LianaBrooks 1000 times yes!

[wtl@mastodon.social]

@LianaBrooks @blogdiva 💯 Wouldn’t have it any other way now, either.

[kaiserkiwi@corteximplant.com]

@LianaBrooks yes

Wow , the engagement on this post is astronomical.
Can we monetize it somehow?

[edavies@functional.cafe]

@LianaBrooks Only one. Yes, mostly.
