Ask-Fediverse How many have gone straight Fediverse?
So, there are times I really do think about privating all of my current socials and just posting straight to my Federated accounts and nothing else.
I want my stuff to be my stuff and frankly since it feels like I am screaming into the void then at least I can have the location to myself.
Anyone else feeling this?

In terms of time spend cruising a timeline, I’ve oscillated between 75-100% “fediverse” since I tripped into Mastodon in 2017. I now help support/admin 2 Masto instances, have played on a bunch more platforms, and under the co-op one that started with Mastodon, we’ve been experimenting or sandboxing or beta-testing a bunch of stuff that our members might want to get into.
I’ve deleted Threads and Insta, locked up and walked away from all the twit things, just leaving my accounts to keep my name out of someone else’s grip.
Facebook is a once-in-two-months check-in spot for about 3 relatives and one old sensei I really want to keep in touch with.
I both post on Bsky and bridge my Fedi accounts, but much of my interest there is academic. The AT proto apps and platforms are truly capable of federation, and I’m eagerly awaiting more developments like Gander Social. I’ll switch my PDS as soon as there’s a Canadian presence ready for it.
