@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.

@LianaBrooks Yes and yes. I love it. But I miss pop culture, stars, art, music.

Yes. Only social media. Mastodon is entirely sufficient once you get a good collection of follows.
@mastodonmigration @LianaBrooks 34k follows is impressive, how did you manage that?

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

@LianaBrooks Its my secondary cause I really like #loops too, but I love #mastodon

@LianaBrooks Yes, it is and it is working for me.
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.
@alterelefant @LianaBrooks same. It is my ONLY social media at this point.

Yes, this is my one and only. No regrets.

@Condorito @LianaBrooks
Im still getting into it but this is where I'm at. Many of the topics I used to engage with on X are non existent or limited to bots reposting X or substack content. Im not a programmer which seems to be a large swath of content I see rn.Still enjoying the type of stuff I see enough to keep me here and hopeful it continues to grow.
@LittlePolarBear @Condorito @LianaBrooks I barely see any coding stuff. Just enough to remind me it exists. You just need to find your people

@LianaBrooks #mosstodon alone makes this the best socmed on the internet. I do not post anywhere else online anymore (except maybe LinkedIn, but that's because I have a vain hope to become hired in software at some point).

@LianaBrooks I am and I wouldn't say it is working for me yet. Working well enough to have some fun and learn things while I use it. But I miss 99% of my actual social networks, so for the time being I am mostly here to do something of value that will help the fediverse become attractive.

@LianaBrooks yes and yes. No one from my real life is on it but I don't need to follow my friends on social media

And ooof I'm so glad to be off the hook with twixer.. I guess it depends a little on the scenes you're in. Might be some are still rather small. But it's growing
keep going

@LianaBrooks it's the best for added value. But don't you find it ironic that most people on the planet carry a phone 24/7 yet use social networks to interact with friends and family? Email would better serve that purpose if phone calls aren't your thing. Part of the value of Mastodon is the intellectual diversity. I'd like to see more ethnic and cultural of that. Friends and family via public networks? Why?

@LianaBrooks yes/yes
@LianaBrooks although I also use Pixelfed and Lemmy. and especially in case of Pixelfed, sometimes I use it more than Mastodon (depending on whether I crave text content or image content.)

Feels like the most I've ever enjoyed social media.
