I’m curious if any of you still use anything other than fediverse. Since discovering it last year I’ve deleted all my non fedi social media, and it feels great!

Nope.
Tried the big two didn’t get anything out of it.
Dropped Reddit during the big storm.
I’m fine with things as they are now.
The lower amount of content on Lemmy is balanced by the increased quality and the fact I can’t spend all day on here

This is easily one of the greatest aspects of the fediverse for me so far; Reddit seemed great at first, when all of its content and communities were new to me, and as it gradually got more familiar and filtered and fine-tuned through my own activity, I noticed that I’d been just scrolling the thing mindlessly, aimlessly, hoping to experience something good, have a nice laugh, a nice read, just anything - ultimately wasting dozens of minutes, sometimes hours, with nothing but a sad sigh as a result.
Browsing Lemmy is a genuinely fun activity for a relatively short amount of time a couple of times a day max, always having a good time thanks to its quality and always having nice conversations because it’s the culture so far, and never scrolling through endless equally poorly-thought-out posts or comments because even if there are any, they’re few and far between.
I think I say the same things whenever I get to praise the fediverse in general and Lemmy in particular, but I just can’t help myself.
Same here. Had it all back in the day but gradually ended up winding everything else but Lemmy down. These days I stick to RSS and Lemmy. Good balance of quality content and entertainment.

I used reddit and discord. Now I use lemmy and discord and occasionally mastodon but I dislike the format.
I didn’t like twitter before so I didn’t really get into mastodon
Nope. I will never use centralised social media again. Too many years exposed to social media that just doesn’t give a shit about the welfare of its users
This
LinkedIn for job shit only. I don’t like follow and comment and shit. I don’t really get the whole point.
The point is to network and make yourself look very successful and likable, a great lover or humanity, one of the best in your field but yet the most humble and grateful for all things that happen in your life… :)
You regularly post obvious uplifting quotes to your peers, who likes them and writes little comments back about how true that quote is, hoping to be promoted the next time there is a company reorg.
I can’t stand it. :)
hoping to be promoted the next time there is a company reorg
Surely this is just ass kissers liking and commenting on the bosses weird ass linked in ego trip?
Is anyone liking and commenting peer’s linked in stuff thinking that’ll score them a promotion? Why would the company care about this?
Where I have worked, try company arranges events at work, like cooking something, or some mystery game, and then takes pictures of that and posts on linkedin. Then they ask employees to comment and say how fun it was.
It’s just HR marketing disguised as something else.
Same bro 😮💨
I too loathe LinkedIn, but have to use it. To make myself feel better, I spend an equal amount of time on shlinkedin afterwards.
Discord and Tumblr.
Reddit, Twitter, BlueSky. Does Discord count as social media?
There’s something insular and self-righteous about the fediverse so I’ll never only use it. But lemmy is pretty great.
YouTube+discord
Since Musk bought Twitter I’ve been more active on Tumblr and as long as you don’t go anywhere that takes itself too seriously, it’s actually refreshing and lovely.
Similarly, when I signed up for Bluesky I decided I’d only follow people I know IRL and artists, and to not be afraid to use the mute or block, and it’s been great. Just a steady stream of art and people discussing art.
I’ve also got Mastodon, Pillowfort, and Cohost accounts I never really use.
YouTube, Reddit, Twitter and Pixelfed
Discord until I find a reasonable alternative
All of them. If a social media site exists, I’m on it. I have the world record for the most sites having signed up for.
I have a bluesky account because several twitter friends went over there. I barely use it because my mastodon feed is a lot more interesting.
Masto!
Youtube and check IG like once a week
Mastodon and Instagram(To chat with friends) For contacting I use Matrix, XMPP, Telegram and IRC.
