what fediverse services do you use

and why do you use the fediverse

and maybe optionally do you think that peertube is good

mine: i use lemmy and mastodon and i use the fediverse because i want to help open source not for the big platform's being bad

You match me aside that Mastodon is my most used followed by Lemmy and then Bookwyrm.

    I also use mastodon, but I find that I rarely reply to people there. Am I thinking about it wrong, it's like whatever I write will be on the same level of visibility as top level posts, but everything mixed up in a big pile? I don't really get it.

    I'm convinced you have to have a certain kind of brain to enjoy Twitter style content

    It's simply unintuitive and confusing for like 10% of people. You have to like, relax your brain, and just accept that you're never going to read things in a logical organised tree. It really is basically a big pile, and you just see what you see, and don't think about what you're not seeing; if that makes sense. You cannot read everything in a thread and have to accept that and relinquish control

    If this bothers you too much, it's just not for you; sorry 😂 personally once I realised that, I just gave up on that whole thing

    Hah, that describes it well. I guess it works for more "announcement"-type posts that aren't meant to be discussed much. I can scroll through it and see that there's an upcoming conference, that someone wrote an article with a link to it, that someone made a pizza, that someone is upset over a recent event, etc. It's like reading the news.

    Replies stack into a thread in chronological order so clicking on a post allows reading the full conversation. However if tags/mentions are included others who have subscribed to those will see those comments in their notifications and when they click on them it will again show the full conversation though scrolled to the specific message that triggered the notification.

    I personally have a couple pinned tags that particularly interest me and then several more of lesser interest that just flow through my notification pane.
