I escaped pretty much every major social media platform. Social media addiction was wasting much of my time and sometimes even making me kinda depressed.

Hmm… somehow all of them now that I think about it. I don’t use a single meta platform (even though my family hates me for not using WhatsApp for years). Also no Twitter and most recently no reddit. Not even YouTube anymore
What are alternatives for YouTube though? Vimeo?
Actually I don’t use any alternatives. When I have time to watch videos I watch something on Netflix.
You don't like commentary videos? That's pretty much all I ever watch on YouTube.
It’s not that I don’t like it. It’s more like I don’t have the time anymore and rather watch a series or movie if I find the time. Oh and I hate all these ads on YouTube. Yes I could block them, but I rather don’t have to deal with this at all.
You have time for a full movie but not a twenty-minute commentary video? That seems backwards to me.
No not for a full movie in one part. But with Netflix gladly I can pause the movie and then resume where I left.
I currently haven't ran from any community, just sort of browsing for better solutions but I guess I've never really liked most platforms. Nor actually post on them to much, my family and friends still use META based platforms so I still have them but really don't use them but from what I've seen so far with Lemmy & the Fediverse I really do hope this is the future of the internet.
What genre of music is "Lemmy and the Fediverse?"
Not music, It's what the Decentralised Socials run off and I use Lemmy for my 'Reddit' Alternative.
I was making a joke because it sounds like a band name.
