Lemmy. Mastadon. YouTube.
BRIAR
I could (hypothetically) post “DEATH TO [Insert Name of Billionaire Here]” on Briar Public Forums and not get censored. Becauae its peer to peer and there no “server”, there no moderatoes, in fact, there is no moderation at all (which is why images are not allowed on public forums).
I have seen a dude spewing kremlin propaganda about the war in Ukraine, and others countering the propaganda, but still have yet to see any bigotry (hopefully I don’t ever see any).
Not counting Lemmy
The only other one I even use is Tumblr. And only when Lemmy is extra slow and boring. It’s harder to actually just talk to people on Tumblr, the way “replies” work there. I use SM more for the social part. The memes and content are just bonuses.
Mastodon is my preference 😊 I really like my timeline
BlueSky and Spoutible. I’m new to Lemmy, really enjoying it so far.
Mastodon, as I can filter any content with specific words, and tbh it’s the best thing ever.
I’m following some hashtags and find that many posts with them are in languages I don’t know. Is there a way to keep posts to the languages I do know?
Yes, Settings > Preferences > Other and there under Public Timelines you can filter which languages you wish to see.
A belated but appreciation filled thank you!
None ;)
I used to use Reddit. I now use Lemmy. That’s it.
To be clear, I do own accounts on many other platforms, including Mastodon, as a way to keep those handles under my hand. I simply don’t use them and see little reason to start using them.
Same.
Although I like to recommend RSS. 'Social " media is overrated. If people are looking for content them just subscribe directly to the source.
RSS is really great, always has been. And many sites support RSS, not just for a main feed but also sub topic feeds.
I use NetNewsWire on iOS
Excluding porn, YouTube is around 90% of my internet use. However, I must give credit to Twitter for the most accurate recommendation algorithm that almost exclusively only serves me content I’m interested in seeing and has been doing so consistently for a decade.
Good recommendation algorithms don’t change the fact that the platform is owned by someone who is actively staging a coup
Well, the only other ones I really actually use besides Lemmy are Mastodon and my InsaneJournal account. Been totally slacking on that, though, so gonna give it to Mastodon.
I don’t include things like Wattpad or yt because I spend most of my time not actually communicating with others on either platform.
