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?
traded reddit for lemmy/kbin
xitter for mastodon
discord for matrix
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.
Lemmy definitely replaced reddit as my daily driver. The only time I ever visit reddit anymore is for obscure troubleshooting information that is usually old.
I never really got into twitter. The format just doesn't interest me very much, like others have mentioned. Mastodon definitely seems cool though. I created an account just because.
I've been on discord, but I could probably easily switch that to matrix because I don't have that many friends...
I hope that something like peertube will take off, but I'm not really on that one. For now, I've resigned to using alternative frontends (newpipe, freetube, etc.). I'm trying to give odysee a fair chance, but the content just isn't quite there yet for me.
The most extreme things that I want to switch out is google, and microsoft. I'm basically going to have to swap operating systems on my phone, as well as my laptop. That pales in comparison to my vehicle though. Lately the idea has been floating around in my head to downgrade my vehicle to something that was before android auto/ apple carplay. Vehicle manufactures have made it impossible to opt out of anything. I hate this so much.
If you do, could you post a link to it? I'd enjoy watching something like that.
Something else that I think would be nice to see is just some of your everyday typical usecases with mint. Anything you might have run into that gave you trouble, etc.
