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.

    I dont think ill ever stop youtube. It has an extremely toxic side, the side where content creators are doing it for a job. I don’t go there. I watch, and post videos that are purely out of a love of sharing. That is the blessed side of youtube. And Ill berelentless in blocking ads and paying for adblockers if nessecary.

    I never used extwitter.

    I only use instagram to share my photography with my family, and to chat with my younger cousins.

    Never really got into discord.

    And Reddit I still sometimes lurk, but only on PC, and rarely comment anymore.

    Now lemmy via Jerboa is my best friend.

    Ive also had so much more social interaction offline in the last 12 months its been a complete turnaround for me.

      If YouTube finally takes away subscriptions then I’m gone from YouTube. I am one of the few people I guess that just logs in every day watches almost all my subs vids and then leaves. None of the algoithmic shenanigans directly effect me and I don’t think YouTube stands a chance of winning the adblockers stuff. Other than that it’s hard to imagine leaving, even if everyone jumped ship the archive of YouTube alone is so huge.
