I haven’t used facebook for years, but I do use twitter a lot to check whats happening in my area. Same for instagram, but I am not using thread at all.

Same here… never look back…

I mostly active on my own (non-mastodon fediverse) instance, I do have account on small instance, but it is collecting the dust most of the time.
Given you are on Lemmyworld, I think it is better to join mastodon.world. It is also owned and managed by te same people who runs lemmyworld. I like their transparency.

Cool!, but the fedi software is not just that (especially #twitterverse ones). There are:

• Gotosocial -> a small server first fediverse-server apps. You can spun it with just $4 vps and get a dedicates instance with features comparable to Mastodon.
• Snac2 -> a smaller fediverse server apps, it even use less resources than Gotosocial, but the UI is so oldschool.
• Microblog.pub -> a python-based single user focused server apps for tinkerers. It fully compatible with Fediverse/Mastodon with nice ui.

I tried all of them and still use both Gotosocial and and Snac2 instances daily, and they are a nice piece of software for their own use-case. Granted, all of these list above is not straightforward to use, but can you add that on advanced category. It feels unfair if it just the usual trio (Mastodon, Misskey/Calkey, Pleroma/Akkoma) that has exposure in the forum. thx.

I feel for them. Keep strong…

It is a bit unnerving to have bots to human ratio that high on the network. I hope they will never activated and many compromized servers get cleaned before something bad happens.

Finally, a useful stats as total user count skewed by bot spam.
Speaking of bots, they are still inactive aren’t they?

Reddit is North Korea now… :I
