      @LianaBrooks yes and of course. there is zero corporate toxicity, it is pure human activity. so it is impossible not to enjoy.

        @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.

          Be it noted that keeping in touch with family is not a function of social media for me.

                @LianaBrooks@mastodon.online I am, and it's been working wonderfully for me. You could definitely feel the genuine Human part of the interactions around here, it feels like home.

                      @LianaBrooks@mastodon.online I used Mastodon as my primary social media for almost a year, only have recently moved to Sharkey instead but it was amazing. The system is pretty simple and does have some limitations but all around if you are coming from a microblogging background via Twitter or another social similar to that it should have most of what you want.

                              @LianaBrooks I do Mastodon and LinkedIn (only work related) but spend a lot more time here, so would call it "primary" and very much working for me.

                              Is LinkedIn social media? I started an account at some point, friended some people and never updated it. That was probably 8-10 years ago I think.

                              Also; yes and yes, I have no other social media and I get everything I want out of social media here!

                                @LianaBrooks Yes. I can't emphasize enough how liberating it is to get off the dopamine/hysteria hamster wheel that is mainstream social media.

                                        @LianaBrooks Love it! I sacrificed a lot of local engagement when I left Elon's mess, but the communities available here make up for it, afaic.
                                        An environment not controlled by plutocrats is a much better fit for me.
                                        Also starting to branch out in the Fediverse (via Peertube).
