@LianaBrooks Unfortunately yes (wish it would be SMS), and yes!

@LianaBrooks yes. It mostly works, although I still see threads where it's like:
Person A: *some strong opinion*
Person A: [tags person B on some other server whose reply can't be seen] that's an interesting point -

Y/Y
I do wish more of my off-line friends were on here, though. And most of the outdoor adventure/photography community is on Instagram, where I have an account that I rarely use. I check there regularly to check for any messages or comments I need to reply to, but try to minimize any interaction that will give Meta more data.But just this evening I saw someone follow me and it was an activist friend whom I haven't seen in person in almost 40 years. If I recall right, we had some online interaction 20+ years ago on Facebook or somewhere. I might send her a quick DM saying hi with my contact info. But I wish I could feel OK about just chatting, like I do here.
The other downside about the Fedi compared to Instagram in particular is that, as a photographer, I would get way more notice and traction there. I still occasionally post a photo and tell people to go look at my website, but it just makes me barf to know that everything I post there will feed Meta's AI slop machine.

@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.

"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.
@rebelyn2 @LianaBrooks Do you follow any hashtags?

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".
