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.

    All relatable and sane answers imo. :)

    Two things:

    1. matrix is a protocol for messaging. People use it as replacement for discord, whatsapp, signal. Self hostable, your data stays in one place and you can bridge nearly every other app to it. So instead of 5 IM apps you have one (element or fluffychat if I have to guess).

    2. the fediverse and interoperability are great. Its the UI that needs work in most cases as it is very early. Beta stages at best. Something a user would never see usually. Keep that in mind.
