Lately I've been trying to convince myself to use social media more, so I can actually socialize and not just spend all my time watching YT.

I actually used to use reddit chronically, but at this point I haven't posted anything in months and that's been a plus in my opinion.

I started by using Discord more (I know, ABSOLUTELY PROPRIETARY(TM), but I joined a really good server that isn't anywhere else like Matrix).

Then I started using Mastodon more, and to my surprise I got my first follower in the form of Patrick Volkerding, the creator of Slackware, my all-time favorite Linux distro. Pretty poggers if you ask me.

Mastodon's been doing pretty good for me, and now I'm taking things further by trying to use Friendica more often. Soon enough, I'll also try to get back in the habit of using Lemmy instead of reddit.

If it's federated/foss, I'll think about trying it (except Bluesky, I predict that platform is gonna get real spooky like Twitter in a matter of time).

Overall, look forward to seeing more of me on Friendica, and if you want you can check out my Mastodon at tronnerd82@mastodon.social
