Lemmings, do you use any social media outside of the Fediverse? (leminal.space)

I'm curious if any of you still use anything other than fediverse. Since discovering it last year I've deleted all my non fedi social media, and it feels great!

I use Facebook daily since most of my friends are still on it (it's still pretty commonly used in Australia) and there's some groups that are more active than the equivalent communities on Lemmy.

I'm on YouTube daily too. It's still the place to find most video creators and there's not really a good alternative yet. I've been using it forever so their algorithm understands what types of videos I like.

I have an Instagram but rarely use it. My last post was maybe 5 years ago. I just use it to watch reels my wife sends to me.

I still have my Twitter account but only visit it maybe once every week or two. Same with Reddit.

Not on Discord or Tiktok.

I like long form discussion, which is why I prefer Lemmy and Facebook over Mastodon and Twitter.
