Who went "full fedi" yet? (lemmy.giftedmc.com)

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.

Youtube: I don't spend a lot of time watching videos, but when I do it's still usually on Youtube, as I can't find what I like anywhere else. I don't expect to be able to completely ditch this one unless the cost of hosting videos goes down a lot.

Facebook: It's been a few months since I used this one. The only thing I use it for is to send someone a message if I don't have any contact information aside from their name, which is something the fediverse can't currently replicate. It's slowly becoming less relevant as fewer and fewer people in my cohort are active on Facebook.

Twitter: I used this one for less than a year in 2021, and deleted my account in 2022.

Instagram: I made an account on this one a few years ago but never made posts with it, and evetually deleted my account. I don't use #Pixelfed , because I can post pictures from #Sharkey so I don't see a reason to make another account.

Reddit: I deleted my account recently. I haven't made a #Lemmy or #KBin account though obviously I can still interact with them from #Sharkey.

Discord: This is the proprietary social network I use the most. There are a lot of communities that don't seem to have alternatives elsewhere. I am hopeful for the future of #Matrix , but it still feels like a beta, and I can't recommend it to people without technical skills.
Tiktok: I haven't used this in a few years, but I haven't deleted my account either.
Pinterest: I haven't used this in a few years, but I haven't deleted my account either. I'm also not sure what the fediverse alternative is.

Zoom: I have to use this for work. I'm hopeful matrix video calls will eventually be a viable replacement.

Fandom: I have stopped making constructive edits, but I kept my account in case I can use it to vandalize wikis or help them leave Fandom. There is no fediverse alternative I'm aware of: just a bunch of self-hosted wikis that can't interact with each other.

I haven't logged into my Reddit account since June.

I never used Twitter, so that wasn't an issue for me.

I just stopped using Discord, if I need to message someone on the internet I suggest Matrix but I almost never use it.

I mostly use Odysee and Nebula to watch videos, if I need to use YouTube I use alternative front-ends like Piped or LibreTube. I tried PeerTube, but there's just not enough content that I would want to watch.

Yeah, that sounds very reasonable. Peertubes discovery is just not good imo.

  1. never used reddit, but i like my kbin alt acc very much
  2. xitter never really was my thing, neither masto or pleroma > but when xitter migration sped up last year, i thought that finally something is happening on the fedi, so i signed up at a calckey instance (and later, i got many more accs on other fedi platforms)
  3. discord? no > matrix? no
  4. yt: i use alternative frontends, but certainly not peertube

Understandable. Though peertube is a cool platform if you are lucky with searching. Something I hope they will fix soon. I might help with that if I can understand what their search engine does.

Only the ones that have achieved full feature parity.

And which ones are those in your opinion?
