    @LianaBrooks Yes and yes. The lack of algorithm allows me to customize as needed without being rugswept by hidden policies or needing to meet a schedule. It's also easy to move from one server to another if you're not feeling you fit in with one.

          @LianaBrooks When I left the corporate world for a nonprofit, I killed all my social media accounts because I didn’t need them for work anymore.

          At the time, I had to delete every post, every Like, every repost. 10,000 Instagram posts. 22,000 tweets. Countless Facebook posts. It was arduous but wonderful to be free of it.

          Mastodon has given me the news and community I wanted but never got from the others. I can listen and support and also be seen. I like it here.

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

                    @LianaBrooks
                    Is a close second for me. #Mastodon for @alice and Doctorow, and a number of hashtags, but most of my fellow X-escapee people went to #Bluesky.

                      @LianaBrooks Yes. I don't really use social media to keep up with people I know in person (I prefer email for that), and I'm not huge on cultivating viral amounts of followers. That said I've found a good group of people to interact with here, and generally enjoy the vibes. It is working for me.

                        @LianaBrooks Nearly 200 boosts and comments.... I'd say it's working for you. I'm happy if I get 1 boost or like. Comments are almost zero.

                            @LianaBrooks Yes and yes.

                            It's the first Social Media I ever used, although I've been on the Internet since 1993, and into professional IT from 2000.

                            For some reasons, I simply never trusted the antisocial commercial platform bullshit engines from the outset. Thus, I was spared that experience.

                                Yes. Only social media. Mastodon is entirely sufficient once you get a good collection of follows.

                                  @LianaBrooks it’s been the only one I use since early 2020, ditching X and FB back then has been a blessing

                                        You do however have to curate the accounts you follow and choose hashtags to follow. There is no algorithm on the #fediverse, you are the algorithm.

                                        Reply to posts and boost posts by others that you find interesting and find relevant for other people who follow you. That is how you can make it work for yourself and others.
