Who went "full fedi" yet? (lemmy.giftedmc.com)

Bit of a simple question: Some people on lemmy are still posting stuff from youtube, xitter and the like.

Have you gone full fediverse yet or how far are you?

traded reddit for lemmy/kbin
xitter for mastodon
discord for matrix
youtube for peertube

Obviously I also mean other alternatives. Which ones do you use and why?

Disclaimer: this question is me asking genuinely but also trying to make it fun by arbitrary ranking/escalating it. Not trying to say one is better than the others.

              I moved to Lemmy during the Reddit API debacle, and it’s been great. I’ve even started interacting with posts which I almost never did on Reddit.
I moved from xitter to Mastodon, but I don’t really use either anymore; it’s just not a form of social media that brings me joy.
I asked several of my friends to try out Matrix, and they tolerate it and message me there instead of Discord. I do a lot of video calls with my girlfriend through Matrix (via Element) and that’s been perfectly reliable. Matrix has actually worked better than Discord for me, since I use Linux (Arch btw) and my webcam frequently has green flashes in Discord but not on Matrix. I had that issue on Fedora as well so I think it’s a Discord for Linux problem.
YouTube is the last great hurdle….

Can very much relate. I also moved due to the api debacle. But I kept on reddit a bit longer since I am head mod in a subreddit which I‘m not abandoning. Slowly easing off. Otherwise reddit is dead to me.

You can bridge nearly all other services to matrix. That way youre not dependent on others switching for you.

I suggest you try out peertube. Its a little rough but its gonna get there.
