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 used reddit and discord. Now I use lemmy and discord and occasionally mastodon but I dislike the format.
I didn’t like twitter before so I didn’t really get into mastodon
Nope. I will never use centralised social media again. Too many years exposed to social media that just doesn’t give a shit about the welfare of its users

Reddit, Twitter, BlueSky. Does Discord count as social media?
There’s something insular and self-righteous about the fediverse so I’ll never only use it. But lemmy is pretty great.
YouTube+discord
All of them. If a social media site exists, I’m on it. I have the world record for the most sites having signed up for.
Discord until I find a reasonable alternative
I have a bluesky account because several twitter friends went over there. I barely use it because my mastodon feed is a lot more interesting.
YouTube, Reddit, Twitter and Pixelfed

Yes, one beside Lemmy out of necessity. There is this app called LINE that started as a humble instant messaging service to serve as a communication aid during the Tohoku Earthquake in Japan. Now it tries to be everything: payment, shopping, interest groups, food ordering, ride calling, music, news, loaning money, etc.
I only use the LINE core function to get by every day, because everyone around me is using it, casually and professionally. My country is using it for everything, even in governmental affairs. It’s however only very popular in Japan, Taiwan, Indonesia, and Thailand, where I reside. There are theories regarding why it is so popular in those countries, but one I believe is its “cuteness” functionality, where you can send “stickers” to each other, something like an elaborated emoji.
I, too, use LINE regularly because I used to live in Japan and have many friends there I’m in regular contact with. I agree with you that the cuteness is a significant factor for its popularity.
Mastodon and Instagram(To chat with friends) For contacting I use Matrix, XMPP, Telegram and IRC.
Not really. I watch YouTube videos with Invidious and yt-dlp, I lurk Reddit through RedReader, and I occasionally lurk Twitter through Nitter (but only very briefly). Lemmy is the only social media that I actively partake/interfere in.
Reddit and Discord. I have Facebook but barely use it.
I got rid of pretty much all social media. Since this is anonymous I don’t really think of it as “social media” the same way I would Facebook or Twitter. The only other thing I have is an Instagram account under a fake name that I just use to follow a few celebrities and craft profiles and look at women trying to promote their OnlyFans accounts lol
anonymous
Pseudonomous, not anonymous.
I was all set to scrap my Facebook account as I never used it anymore. Then when I starting posting daily to !superbowl@lemmy.world, I basically set it up as a news feed for 50+ animals rescues to get me content.
I think my last post on Facebook other than responding to birthday wishes was 2 years ago.
The algorithm was recommending me a lot of crap for a long time, but lately it’s gotten better actually.
It’s still a pain to use, but for many rescues, it’s the only way to get daily news about them, so I use it more than ever now, but I’m not contributing anything back into it, other than hopefully increasing traffic to the rescues.
