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.

It is a protocol. Element or fluffychat are two clients.

The main benefit is you can host it yourself. Fully encrypted, stored on a server you either own or know the owner/location of.

No ads, nitro or otherwise.

You can bridge discord and nearly all other messaging apps like whatsapp, signal, fb messenger etc

Its pretty huge imo.
