Ask HN: How do you use the Fediverse?
I recently wrote some rather disparaging comments on how I see the Fediverse, but I do want to like it, so I thought I'd give Fediverse proponents some space to talk.
So how do you use the Fediverse? How did you decide which instance to sign up to? Which of Mastodon/Pleroma/Akkoma/etc do you use and why? I was on the Fediverse for a while with my own Mastodon instance a few years ago[0] Then a minor update broke it[1] Have not been back since Like you, I want to like it / use it ... but it simply takes too much mental space on top of the other social media / comm channels I use (professional and personal) -------- [0] https://antipaucity.com/2019/02/07/sweetree-ga-the-newest-ma...
