@mayintoronto I joined a few years ago. I had left Facebook long long ago, and I left Twitter some years before joining fedi. I was still on Instagram though, mostly to post dog pics. But Instagram feeds were turning into a mess I didn't enjoy and stopped going there. That account has, since, been deleted.
Since I self-host a lot of stuff, I decided to try self-hosting mastodon. I did that for about a year, I think. I didn't manage to get any of my friends to join so I moved to beige party and killed my solo instance.
And here I am.
