I have fully transitioned to using Lemmy and Mastodon right when third party apps weren't allowed on Spez's place anymore, so I don't know how it is over there anymore.

What do you use? Are you still switching between the two, essentially dualbooting?

What other social media do you use? How do you feel about Fediverse social media platforms in general?

(I'm sorry if I'm the 100th person to ask this on here...)

I have been Lemmy only since the 3rd party app thing also. I also stopped using Twitter when Musk bought it, and have Mastadon on my to-do list but I'm not sure if I want to spin up my own instance or make an account elsewhere. Other than that I have no other social media accounts and never have.

As for other Fediverse platforms, I'm strongly opposed to the for profit ones, but happy to see all the open source ones.

I see it very similarly, it feels good having the users of the platforms actually create the platforms themselves.
The way how Facebook is trying to get into this with their Threads or whatever it's called feels very unnatural. Thankfully I haven't seen any people from there over here.

The way how people can create their own instances is super fun. It feels like what people call the Reddit hivemind, but actually realized by the people from within it.

I feel like Threads was dead on arrival. I never hear about it anymore since it's launch. Never tried it though so I can't really say first hand how active it is.
