    @LianaBrooks Yes! I stayed away from all other platforms because.... billionaires. I barely ever post, but feel that here in the commie wierdo corner of the social Web, I have become less alone.

      @LianaBrooks

      "Yes" and "yes?" (depends on what you mean by 'working'!)

      Quit Facebook for one year. Recently opted to rejoin Facebook because there are groups and events that only exist there, and I'm a little isolated geographically + socially where I live. Facebook is a hellsite, and I spend 97% of my social media time here. I like it here.

          @LianaBrooks @dusk Yep. By far better than anything else. Blue sky a distant second.

            @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.

              Yes. The only other one I have is Bluesky & I don't spend much time there. I get better interactions & good conversations here.

                    @Mikal @LianaBrooks mastodon was the first social media to have age verification. Our age verification is flawless. No one would bother to join mastodon if they weren't practically senile already.

                      Oh, I responded because it is a legitimate and interesting question. But also, guaranteed engagement bait. Not in a bad way like a commercial sites.

                              @LianaBrooks Define "primary" and define "working for you"?

                              I don't use social media in an attempt to become famous or become an "infleuncer".

                                  I deleted my Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn accounts and went all in on Mastodon. Best decision ever. Fuck that shit.

                                    @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 Yep, it's enough. I can connect with local people and far away people who share interests. It's true there's a lack of diversity, and that makes it less engaging for me, but I view that as a plus because there are things I'd like to do outside of cyberspace, and this being somewhat less engaging is a feature not a bug.
