@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 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.)

Yes and yes! -
@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, 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.

@LianaBrooks Yep, I'm only on Masto and Plurk. I don't need any other SocMed in my life.

@LianaBrooks I don't use it completely. I still have some content on X, Instagram and Facebook. Much because of my family members and the content that we share between us (me and my wife). I tried to convince her to use it here, but it wasn't good.

Yes, and Kind Of.
I'd prefer if mastodon started off as a shitty facebook clone instead of a shitty twitter clone.

@LianaBrooks
Yes and yes.I don’t want wide reach and I don’t want promoted content in my feed.
I want to find nice weirdos and be weird on the internet together.

Is anyone using Mastodon as their primary social media and is it working for you?
@LianaBrooks Yes and (largely) yes. It's pretty much the one social media platform (aside from some old-style discussion forums) where I actively interact with people. I no longer have BlueSky, haven't had Instagram or Twitter in years. The experience so far has been generally pleasant and uplifting.

@LianaBrooks I've been using fediverse as my only social media since 2019. Works for me.
