Where are you hanging out online these days?

Lemmy, Mastodon, PieFed, Lobsters, HN, Tilders, trackers, IRC..?

Lemmy, but also Z2 and GameFAQs
Could you expand on the latter two and what you gain from them :)

BookWyrm, PieFed, WAFRN, Loops, Pixelfed, and NeoDB are the main socials where I actually post stuff/interact with people/etc, if that’s what counts as hanging out?

On more of a small community level with casual conversations and such, it’d be mostly Signal, Fluxer, and Matrix.

Would you expand on those and why you like them? :)

Lemmy…PieFed

I mean…they’re kinda the same thing from the standpoint of the community. Different intercompatible software packages.

Lemmy, the structure of reddit style threads is incredibly useful, we need to build a shared wealth here. I am less interested in other forms of the fediverse until we nail this down but that is me.
7.9k posts, nice work! Got me beat
Hey, I see the effort you put in to give this place life, it is huge!
We are both great it is true haha

Lemmy/PieFed. That’s it.

A few days ago I tried to use 4chan; around 2008~10 I used it semi-frequently. Well. Not even the least worst boards are worth the trouble nowadays, that place has become a zombie eating its own brain.

Reddit? No. I flat out refuse to use that cesspool. I don’t use it even to look for info, screw it.

Beyond that I’ve been hanging out offline. Sometimes with friends, sometimes family.

Lobsters…???

I’ll eat those fuckers.

Mostly Lemmy and Bluesky and occasionally Tildes and Mastodon.

Been meaning to check out PixelFed and Loops.

Piefed for my post-reddit stuff. I prefer the longer forum-like experience here for a lot of things.

BlueSky for other stuff. All the rabbit people there are great and I can’t live without cute bunny pictures. I usually stick to specific feeds and ignore most of the rest.

That’s what I like too, it feels like the old days of message boards where you really were a community. You get to know people here
Mostly Lemmy, but Reddit still has the good local/niche content, so I’m there too.
