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!

  • Ditched Facebook a number of years ago.

    Never really clicked with Twitter, even with trying Mastodon it just seems difficult to view content in a format In familiar with.

    Looking through others comments I guess YouTube is considered here and is probably my most used.
