Relatable. I also visit youtube often. Peertube still needs work but I‘m optimistic.
1-2 yes
3-4 no (or at least, not yet)
Has it been a perfect migration? No.
There are a ton of quirks that need to be worked out, but I'm still betting on the Fediverse because of its openness and philosophy.
I can relate. The constant amount of bugs is what makes using unpolished stuff a challenge. But it’s kind of the same thing if you‘re living in a democracy. Being in an authoritarian regime allows for more streamlined visuals (dubai) but also leads to ethnic cleansing and other transgressions.
What? How far am I what?
Yes, yes, don't use, always have avoided anyway. I also touch grass more often, which is nice
I have. I still use the other ones occasionally for specific topics that don't get much attention in the fediverse yet (e.g. ufos -- I know, I know...), but overall, my main platforms are the fediverse, not the corporate ones.
Congrats! I‘m trying my best to stay off of corpo media but a lot of kinks still need ironing out. Trying to help get peertube to a point where it competes better (since I feel like its very close).
i haven't used Reddit since the big migration, and quit Xitter way before then. i still use YouTube a lot, but use NewPipe instead of any app or webpage. can't stand Discord either way, but use it for a couple MMO guilds i'm in. it sucks that the shitposting scene on Masto isn't as big as Xitter, or maybe i'm not looking in the right places. (i know jorts.horse has some good posts on their local, but i don't wanna move from my instance.)

I have been for years and haven't regretted it. Run my own micro-blog with go to social, tilvids is an excellent peertube, beehaw for lemmy, and matrix is the only option when talking to family imo.

Yes for all except youtube. I use frontends there. LBRY when feasible and there's not a lot of content creators on PeerTube at least we got "The Linux Experiment". PeerTube needs a monetization model imo (benefiting content creators and instance hosters). I wouldn't mind paying a low fee for watching content for instance.
What we need is more people discussing peertube and things like monetization. It has promise (and there are creators on there) but the discoverability sucks. You‘re correct, it needs a lot of work.
