What was your motivation for seeking out non-mainstream platforms? Why did you choose this platform?

    Switched to Mastodon when Musk took over Twitter in 2022. Switched to Lemmy when Reddit banned 3rd party apps in 2023.

    I was interested in decentralized platforms before. Technically Diaspora was my first “fediverse” social network, but it lacked content so I didn’t use it much.

      Same. I didn’t even use the 3rd party Reddit apps (browser only here), but I knew what that kind of corporate control meant. I’m disappointed that more people didn’t drop Reddit at that time. Oh well, we’re taking the long game.
