People who don't use other social media apart from Lemmy... how do you explain this decision to the average Joe with accounts for all existing social media?
Idk if I count because I use Tumblr regularly, but I never warmed up to Twitter, Facebook, Instagram or Snapchat (I do use Instagram to find tattoo artists occasionally tho).
Personally I just hate how posting to some social media feels like having to put on a mask, or how performative it is. That and the constant toxicity and negativity. It's bad for me, mentally, so I don't engage anymore. (Tumblr is the exception because my dashboard is exactly what I want and makes me happy.)
The anonymity of the Internet brings out the worst in people, the connectivity means I see every single bad thing that happens in the world. Bad for the brain.
I also like that in this format, you can get a lot of people's thoughts on a topic, including deeper conversation, all at once. In discord, I'm always having to scroll back & forth, and the other socials are frustrating to deal with.
