Where else on the web does everyone hang out? (normalcity.life)

I’m really curious where else everyone here hangs out on the internet besides Lemmy.

I myself am frequently on discord with my wife and friends playing games. I’ve also found myself in and around smaller blogs spaces like Kev Quirk and related people. Reddit used to be a place for me to hang out but I never found a community that I felt connected to. I don’t know if YouTube would be considered a place to hang out, but I frequently spend way more time there than I should. IRC used to be a great place for me.

So, where are your favorite places?

Twitter and BlueSky. Shifting more so to the latter the worse the former gets.

No Mastodon? I always assume all of us lemmy people use Mastodon (if they are into the twitter kind of thing).

I prefer bluesky

I keep wondering if BlueSky is going to eat mastodons lunch when/if they open up next year.

I’m not on there myself, but from all the things I hear it’s got the vibe of doing the federated Twitter alternative “right” rather than, let’s say “idealistically”.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Everything I hear about it seems to be negative, but then again I only really hear about it from people who tried it and hated it and came to Mastodon instead. So I expect they just have different audiences.

wdym by right and idealistically?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Well they’re in quotation marks for a reason … It’s unclear.

The essential idea is “right” is what works and “idealistically” is what some people think should work but doesn’t.

Got an invite code? I don't know how that works...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I only give them out to people ik

I think it's related to who you follow

Different groups on twitter are migrating to different platforms. If your group went to Blue sky, then that's where you'd go to keep reading their stuff

Yeah I mean I never had a twitter group, so I’m mostly looking for interesting communities and figured there’s a lot of that on mastodon. But to be honest I don’t really find great stuff there.
