I joined Mastodon a few years ago, mostly out of interest in the concept. I never did much with Twitter, so I didn't do much with Mastodon either, but I liked the idea.

I've been a heavy user of reddit for more than decade. During the runup to the recent blackout I was reading everything I could find about alternatives. I created several Fediverse accounts during that time and when the blackout started I quit using reddit and never went back. That gave me the incentive to start really using Lemmy and kbin, which have been a pleasant surprise.
