Bit of a simple question: Some people on lemmy are still posting stuff from youtube, xitter and the like.

Have you gone full fediverse yet or how far are you?

  1. traded reddit for lemmy/kbin
  2. xitter for mastodon
  3. discord for matrix
  4. youtube for peertube

Obviously I also mean other alternatives. Which ones do you use and why?

Disclaimer: this question is me asking genuinely but also trying to make it fun by arbitrary ranking/escalating it. Not trying to say one is better than the others.

1-2 yes

3-4 no (or at least, not yet)

Has it been a perfect migration? No.

There are a ton of quirks that need to be worked out, but I'm still betting on the Fediverse because of its openness and philosophy.

I have. I still use the other ones occasionally for specific topics that don't get much attention in the fediverse yet (e.g. ufos -- I know, I know...), but overall, my main platforms are the fediverse, not the corporate ones.

Congrats! Iโ€˜m trying my best to stay off of corpo media but a lot of kinks still need ironing out. Trying to help get peertube to a point where it competes better (since I feel like its very close).

Shit, man, if I went full fedi, I'd have even less to contribute than I already do. We've gotta have some external sources of news and knowledge.

I have traded reddit for lemmy and just closed my Meta and Xitter accounts and I'm already feeling a disconnect from society. I've been subscribing to new youtube channels and setting up RSS feeds to make up for the lack of connection to current events.

Instead of going fedi I'm going minimal.

Reddit -> Lemmy, with the caveat that time spent on here is minimal, to be reviewed at a later date.

xitter -> nothing, nitter.net if I want to read a xeet linked by another resource. Ultimately for me micro blogging social media is a time suck with little return.

discord -> still on it for a few different reasons, not sure if I'll set up matrix just to do a bridge, privacy and minimalism are clashing here.

YouTube -> nothing, invidious if I want to watch yt content. Short or low quality video content is another time suck, try and keep video streaming to a minimum for environmental and mental health reasons.

Netflix and others -> the high seas (it is decentralised)
