PS - If someone wants to get into watching PeerTube, TILVids.com is a great start.

Still using Discord and YouTube fully and reading some things on Reddit and Twitter. Not posting ob the latter two anymore though.

Most of them! I'm struggling to understand peertube but maybe I'll get it eventually. In the meantime I'm still on YouTube but I've fediversed all the others 🎉

• mostly post on Lemmy now. So check reddit occasionally as there are a few things there I have need/interest in. I rarely post there now. It's mostly because of their utterly unusable official app - if they allowed third party apps (and my choice of third party app) I'd have been willing to pay to use (I'm not looking for a free ride).
• I'm split between Mastodon, BlueSky, Threads and occasional Twitter. There are people I still interact with on each. I am not a fan of Meta, but unfortunately they seem to be winning. Mastodon is very, very clunky though it has good points. I am seeing an increasing number of big name posters expressing frustration with the platform as there is no good mechanism to ward off spam and abuse at scale - this makes sense (though I certainly am not such a person).
• What's Matrix? I use Discord only because I have to as it's the only place for support/community for certain tools I use. I hate it. I wish orgs would use old school web page support forae like they used to. Vastly better...
• YT premium. Gotta follow the content. I don't mind paying to rid myself of ad interruption, and what's more, it makes it functional for my kids (sans ads). Besides, YouTube Music is pretty good (not nearly as good as Google Play Music was, though).

I think as things scale people may start to appreciate just how hard it is to moderate content to a useful degree. Not too much. Not too little. (I'm not suggesting that any of the main sites has really gotten it right, but when it's gone (at scale) things go bad fast (RIP Twitter).

I hope for better interoperability between platform (fedi) but it's likely a pipe dream.

1: I'm running a kbin instance so. Yeah, think I've covered that.
2: Never had a twitter account. I used to check news from some companies that announce stuff there. But you can't even do that without an account now, so I don't visit them aside from if people send me direct links to stuff.
3: Yes and no. I'm using both, mainly because I don't control where everyone else goes.
4: I did (well still do) have a peertube instance up, I've just not moved it to the new server yet and not decided if I will. The problem is, storage. For threadiverse (kbin in my case) the space used is easily containable, the media goes onto S3 and I can surf the best combination of speed/price for that and the DB actually grows at a pretty controllable rate. But peertube takes a LOT of space quickly. I suspect it's a bit harder to have the kind of freedom to post long videos, also livestreaming. I tried 1440p and the server (which is decently specced) couldn't keep up. So, this might be a failed experiment for me I think.

I'm slowly migrating to Lemmy/Kbin.

The mods of Reddit are just power abusing shitheads. The same communities will eventually come to the fediverse.

I realize I'm a bit strange when it comes to social media, but have never signed up for twitter, discord, youtube, facebook, instagram, or anything else like that. I had a reddit account, but bailed as soon as I heard about kbin. So yeah, I gues that makes me a full fedi.

Instead of going fedi I'm going minimal.

Reddit -> Lemmy, with the caveat that time spent on here is minimal, to be reviewed at a later date.

xitter -> nothing, nitter.net if I want to read a xeet linked by another resource. Ultimately for me micro blogging social media is a time suck with little return.

discord -> still on it for a few different reasons, not sure if I'll set up matrix just to do a bridge, privacy and minimalism are clashing here.

YouTube -> nothing, invidious if I want to watch yt content. Short or low quality video content is another time suck, try and keep video streaming to a minimum for environmental and mental health reasons.

Netflix and others -> the high seas (it is decentralised)

1. I'll follow a search result to reddit, but I don't actively browse it.
2. Never used either. I created a Mastodon account somewhere once upon a time but never used it.
3. My friends use Discord, and aren't interested in moving. So I use it.
4. I don't post or comment on YouTube, but I do follow a handful of people. Not signed in, just using rss feeds.

Basically everything except discord. I don't use Twitter or anything like that so mastodon isn't my thing

I've migrated to almost all foss services. I'm only sharing from non free services if i can't avoid. I'm using this username in each and every services

1,2,3 yes
Its hard to avoid youtube as most of my favourite youtubers wont migrate or even they don't know about foss platforms. They want their ad revenue. Its hard to convience them and hard for them to move

My Fediverse accounts:
Mastodon not Twitter Lemmy not Reddit Friendica not Facebook Peertube not Youtube: Funkwhale not spotify: Bookwyrm not Goodreads Writefreely not blogger:
Lichess not chess.com: Matrix not discord: https://matrix.to/#/@covert_czar:matrix.org
I'm also on pixelfed (not instagram)

Sure i do use proprietory softwares and nonfree services. I do consider them as useful as foss softwares. I just explored most of the fedi universe doesn't mean i hate non-free services.
I'm more active on mastodon, pixelfed, lemmy, matrix and lichess

https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/4205915 And finally A meme i made about fediverse😂 Edit: deleted all personal links

What? How far am I what?

1. Yes
2. Yes
3. N/A (never used Discord)
4. I post to PeerTube, but YouTube still has all of the content so that's where I go to watch things (via NewPipe & FreeTube though)

1-2 yes

3-4 no (or at least, not yet)

Has it been a perfect migration? No.

There are a ton of quirks that need to be worked out, but I'm still betting on the Fediverse because of its openness and philosophy.

I have been for years and haven't regretted it. Run my own micro-blog with go to social, tilvids is an excellent peertube, beehaw for lemmy, and matrix is the only option when talking to family imo.

1. I already had issues with Reddit long before the API drama, due to spam, etc. However when the API drama dropped, I almost 100% switched to kbin, save for the rare occasion I found some useful info on Reddit, with the occasional tumbling into some other interesting threads.
2. I post more often to Mastodon, slowly leaving Twitter too, I just need to convince my fellow authors to do so, to give me even less reason to use it. I however decided to limit posting updates of my game engine to Twitter, and instead use the main account now dedicated for it ( @PixelPerfectEngine )
3. I haven't heard of Matrix, I'll look up it. I don't have any major gripes with Discord so far.
4. Peertube is fine and dandy, however it's even less adapted than other Fediverse platforms, all while YouTube would be mostly fine IF IT DIDN'T ACTIVELY TRIED TO SABOTAGE MY FIREFOX! I EVEN PAY FOR PREMIUM AND MEMBERSHIPS!

I don't really use any other save for following a bunch of Misskey accounts with my Mastodon. However, I was thinking on creating a federated game launcher/gaming-focused social network similar to Steam. Some parts of it would use ActivityPub (especially public stuff like achievements), others XMPP or something similar. Issues are the question of a copy protection system, and an anti-cheat system. Banning pirated copies of the game from official networks is probably easy even with open source tools, and likely not so controversial. Anything more than that would require more complicated setups, such as a lot of proprietary stuff, not to mention are very controversial, especially with gamers. Anti-cheat systems are also a though issue, likely being the responsibility of the developer, and also there' a lot of controversy with them with kernel-level anti-cheat systems.
