@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!

Is anyone using Mastodon as their primary social media and is it working for you? -
Is anyone using Mastodon as their primary social media and is it working for you?@LianaBrooks Our social media presence is divided equally between Mastodon, Instagram and LinkedIn. So not solo primary (poly primary?) but an important part of our online outreach.
We love it here! We have hands down our best engagement on Mastodon, no question.
Our primary audiences are educators (classroom / homeschool / community / other contexts) and filmmakers, which are communities that exist on Fedi but aren't as large or well-defined as legacy corporate media.
We have the impression that we connect with a more international audience and more people in higher ed here than elsewhere. (Yay!)
We're a non-profit that gives away our teaching resources for free. Our most important metric (that we report to our board, our funders and our filmmakers) is downloads. Mastodon does not drive a huge number of downloads at this time, but the numbers have grown significantly since we first joined. (Yay!)
We're really happy to be here and we are grateful for the support we receive.
