I had joined Mastodon when Elon started doing kooky things with Twitter.

I had a mastodon account from 2 years ago i never used (i don't like twitter style social media)
mastodon and peertube is alli knew
During my master's degree we had a course where we had to make a small app or data collection thingy using the Mastodon api (or something, can't fully remember). So I was aware it existed, and contemplated joining at a few points. Ultimately though, I just don't really vibe with Twitter-like social media. After Reddit did the thing, I saw Lemmy, which suits me way better. I like it so far. I'm donating a small amount of money to help with keeping the instance running, and I hope this remains a cool place to be for many years to come.
Lurked Calckey for a bit , i was fan of Freeplay's userstyles
But decided to go for kbin bc it's not limited to redditlike functions , promising for interacting with rest of 'verse all under one account
I was vaugly aware of Mastadon and the federation idea. Thought it was a cool idea but I just hate the Twitter format so never thought more of it.
freedombox and some stuff I vaguel remember about an open source social media
I had used mastodon, akkoma and peertube before learning about Lenny when the Reddit stuff happened. I have never had an account on twitter and rarely used my Reddit account.
