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.

  1. Lemmy 95%. I use Reddit for tech troubleshooting help sometimes but that's basically it, and I removed my account.
  2. Never used Twitter. I have a Mastodon account but rarely use it. It's just not a content format that I'm very interested in.
  3. Sadly I use Discord still. Matrix is fine, but nearly all my friends use Discord for gaming and related stuff, so I can't get rid of it without losing basically all my gaming friends and servers.
  4. Still use YT all the time, but only through apps like NewPipe, FreeTube, and GrayJay. I haven't signed into YT for well over a year now.

Slowly but surely I'm getting rid of the corpo's grip on my life.

Congrats! I appreciate every soul we can rip from the corpo claws. 3. There are matrix bridges that can puppet your account. Pretty cool. Though I need to figure out how to use them. Found out this week. 4. Check out peertube. Especially sepiasearch.org. It's not perfect and you need to accept that they dont have an algorithm so you need to sort by newest or be very specific in your search terms. Trying to get them to add sort by likes, watch numbers or comment numbers. Lets see how that goes.

I've heard of bridges but never tried them, I'll look into them more.

Peertube is pretty cool, just doesn't have all the creators I watch currently. I do still watch some content on there though.

Awesome idea! Theyβ€˜re great.

Peertube is great but it needs time.
