What social media apps besides this one is everyone using these days?

The reason I ask is everything seems so splintered right now. Twitter is dying a slow death and other apps just aren't gaining any traction because everyone is so spread out. I honestly want to stop using Twitter but it's where all the brand and video game dev accounts are. Can't just get rid of it altogether.

This is why I've been trying to use my Ko-fi page more. I've also been thinking about making more use of my YT Community tab but the prob there is neither have a timeline to see other ppls posts.

I wish everyone would just pick one soul sucking social media app and stick with it lol

@8bitjosh Honestly I just use what I enjoy and don't worry about what everyone else is doing. So essentially I'm Fediverse-only these days, mostly Mastodon and Lemmy (two accounts on each).

Can definitely see it being a bigger problem if you enjoy following brands though, hope they end up moving somewhere a bit more palatable in future!

p.s. do you have a PeerTube channel yet? 😀

@teahands If I wasn't a content creator I would just pick one and stick with it...actually if I wasn't a content creator I probably wouldn't have any social media apps lol

@8bitjosh Idk, my craft persona has a YT channel with like 8k subs and it doesn't seem to make much difference to the growth there whether I use mainstream social media or not.

But then again, I was very bad at using it so that might be why 😅

At some point you just have to say "this activity is not bringing value to my life", you know? It's very freeing.
