No, I never liked Twitter, so I can’t even begin to bother about mastodon. Never heard of the other one.

I tried the Instagram clone for a few days (forgot the name), but it was so empty I left it again.

No. One social media is enough. Lemmy meets all my needs.

I tried Element for Matrix, but I prefer forums to chatrooms.

Perhaps it’s because I haven’t subscribed to a lot of communities here (Lemmy), but I find Mastodon (and Sharkey by extension due to their federation with Mastodon instances) more active than Lemmy.

I’ve got an account in programming.dev (Lemmy), fosstodon.org (Mastodon) and fedia.social (IceShrimp ≈ Sharkey, loosely). I’ve also got a very inactive Reddit account.

I was interested in PieFed and plan to give it a try at some point, but still have only used Lemmy. The other formats just aren’t as interesting to me. I don’t care about specific people, so Mastodon isn’t my bag. I care more about the conversations with friendly internet strangers. I don’t even have profile pictures enabled on Lemmy, I’d prefer everyone to just dissolve into a sea of unrecognition.

The use case of Reddit/lemmy is entirely different from Twitter/x/mastodon. In Reddit/lemmy, there’s a topic of interest, and people chime in. In Twitter/etc, there’s people of interest, and they discuss topics.

I don’t care who is talking, I just want to talk about stuff. So the twitter style has zero interest for me.

Haha… get this… I made an account, and then got banned for spam. Without a single post ever being written by me! Stupid website full of wannabe tyrants.

I just joined Reddthat. Never looking back. (Unless this place goes to pot too. Hope not.)

I don’t care about the social media as much as I care about keeping the app I already know how to use lol. I used boost for reddit for years, then I changed to boost for lemmy.

I’ve tried a handful with Mastodon being my favorite and Lemmy a close second.

Never heard of Sharkey.

No. Twitter always sucked, even before Musk. Instagram was always stupid, even before Zuck. Facebook was a stupid copy of MySpace, which was stupid to begin with. Reddit was a good format, though made worse repeatedly by being run by Reddit. Hence, Lemmy.

I was in mastodon first for several months before moving to lemme. some good interesting posts and content but it was harder to filter out advertising and self promotion and I just prefer following topics and communities instead of people. Monsterdon is worth experiencing if you haven’t though, Monday 2am gmt cheesy horror movies watch party just having fun and cracking jokes.

@url Friendica is where it’s at!

I’m more of a forum user than a microblogger, and google says sharkey is a kids haircut place

Mastodon, not my cup of tea (to be fair, neither was Twitter). I just don’t find micro-blogging to be very engaging and my mind categorizes it as “brain rot”.

Sharkey? Haven’t heard of that one until I just googled it, but one look at their mascot and…no. Just… no.

Have been looking at joining Piefed instance, though.

I started with mastodon but i can never get into that kind of social media. Everyone was super nice and i tried for a bit but it felt now like looking into people’s lives rather than whatever this is. I prefer this.
