It’s 2023 and there are more open source, decentralized social media options than ever before like Lemmy, Mastodon, and more. However, I still find myself using some big tech platforms like Twitter and Google News fairly often. While federated social networks are compelling, the content curation and discovery on platforms like Twitter seems better for my interests. The echo chambers of Twitter feel preferable to the noise of something like Mastodon. What about you all? Have you moved completely to open source social platforms, or do you still rely on some big tech ones too? I’m curious to hear your perspectives!

    Technically yes, but in very limited ways.

    I watch Youtube, but I do not post or comment. I am on Linkedin but I do not post, and infrequently comment. I am active on Discord, and will remain until they too get greedy and I have to abandon the product.
