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

@LianaBrooks Absolutely! I left all the others and I don’t miss a thing.

@LianaBrooks Yes and yes.

@LianaBrooks

Yes! I love it here. It was hard to give up the “other” social media initially, but I am so glad I did. I just didn’t want to support corrupt billionaires who were filling my feeds with horrible algorithms and relentless ads/ influencers hawking things.

@LianaBrooks
It's my only social media, and it's great for me.

@LianaBrooks security clique moved over here so it's interesting enough for me I guess.

but other communities didn't move that other friends need. without that nucleus, not very handy

@LianaBrooks Yep. I'm also still on FB to keep in touch with some important to me people who simply don't have the desire to move.

But I'm mostly here, meeting more of "my" people than I have anywhere else online in 30 years.

@LianaBrooks There's other social media?

@LianaBrooks
#Mastodon is my only social media since Musk bought Twitter.
I cancelled #Insta at same time.
*edit Yes it works very well for me, so many interesting people and great #'s to follow.

@LianaBrooks
Yes, this is my main social media (no fb, no insta, no x) anything is deleted 2022finally - only exception currently is #linkedin for my business connections.
After I found my peers on Mastodon I never regretted the step - anyhow as always a fresh start is intense but expands own perspective in the long run!

@LianaBrooks Yes and yes

@LianaBrooks yes and absolutely!

@LianaBrooks Yes.

@LianaBrooks

It's pretty much my only social media, besides some online forums. It works for me, but I'm not a heavy user.

@LianaBrooks 100%. I’ve only used Mastodon for around 4 years and haven’t looked back.

@LianaBrooks Me. I'm on here more than anywhere else.

@LianaBrooks Yes and yes. People are overwhelmingly great to interact with. I’m long done with surveillance state/Fascist-controlled social media.

@LianaBrooks
Yes and yes, for > 6 years and it's good for my mental health.

@LianaBrooks Yes and yes

@LianaBrooks yes & yes

@LianaBrooks yes + yes.

I also sporadically glance Pixelfed but that's it.
