@LianaBrooks primary? It's my *only* social media (unless you count Signal, Matrix, or email).
Once I got settled on Mastodon, I poisoned and deleted my last remaining social accounts.
I have zero regrets.

@LianaBrooks Yes to both; It is the only 'social media' account I still have (other than chat apps), I've deleted all the others.

@LianaBrooks@mastodon.online I've been on the Fedi, primarily not mastodon, for several years now and do not have a social media presence outside of the Fediverse.
I like it here.
I am not a person who would normally be targeted for harassment so my experience has been pretty pleasant, but I know there's weird ass gatekeepers around this that seem to actively want to drive away non-white and queer folks - a thing that can be largely invisible to anyone but the target because of the structure of Mastodon/ActivityPub. That's a real big problem for this to become A Thing in the culture - for it to get that far, I'd need to be able to invite my MIL and wife and have them have completely different, but very pleasant experiences rather than the current experience it is now. -

@LianaBrooks yep and more or less. I'm still missing a lot of my local community here though.

@LianaBrooks I haven't actually decided what it's supposed to be doing for me.

@LianaBrooks My one and only and I’m quite pleased with it.

@LianaBrooks not my primary social media platform but it hasnt given me any problems in the nearly 4 years ive been on it

@LianaBrooks Yes this is my primary social media interaction but I am not as satisfied with it as I would wish to be. It's harder to find the types of accounts I am interested in following - predominantly news and arts/culture - but it feels safer and more affirming than twitter ever did. Still, I would like more community within my interests.

I'm wondering if you have tried following/searching by tags related to your interests. That's how I usually find my people.

@LianaBrooks it's my only social media and I am very happy with it.

@LianaBrooks Yes, and not really. The app I’m using (the mastodon app) doesn’t seem super reliable so there are days I can’t load it on my phone (and I know I should try a different app but I haven’t). Mostly I don’t feel really connected here, which is mostly because I don’t interact regularly. But it just hasn’t replaced the feeling of friends and connection I had on fb. (I won’t go back to Facebook though.)

@LianaBrooks
Yes, and what do you mean by "working for you"? -
@iwein @Tusky @LianaBrooks Maybe I will try Tusky! And I will wish us both luck in finding a sense of connection. I’m really lucky to have connections outside of social media - a couple book clubs, and I facilitate a couple peer groups and am doing some collective narrative projects. But I still really miss the feeling I used to have in social media spaces, that felt like casually running across friends in public space. Maybe it will come with time.

@LianaBrooks Yes and yes. I deleted my facebook account which I have wanted to do for years.
