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

            @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 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.)

                @Tiffany same! using @Tusky solved the first problem for me. The second problem is much harder I think…

                    @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.

                        @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 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 (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 not just pimary, but exclusively. No other account onany other platform. Guess iI’ll never be an influencer. Couldn’t be happier about that
