Mostly I used Twitter to follow specific journalists and a few famous people. Mostly sports stuff. There isn't much sports media on Mastodon unfortunately.

I think the point of Twitter is to follow famous people. Since there are very few famous people on Mastodon it makes it less useful. They need celebrities and media platforms to make the switch. That's not really a problem for a link aggregator like Lemmy. I think this site has a bright future.
Just get the test strips, they're not expensive.
Interesting so I guess they use Microsoft ad services and thus send data to Microsoft. I just like their search results because they're less spammy than Google. Also I found Google sensors their search results a bit more. Let's say your trying to find a site for pirate streaming. You'll have better luck with DuckDuckGo.
Never heard of rdtclient, seems like that would be cheaper than Usenet. Might have to give it a try.
I'd go to all the pawn shops and clean them out. Lots of gold and silver I could resell.
I like Fedora because it works with my Brother printer, lol. Only two distros that can connect to it are Fedora and Ubuntu. Ubuntu had too much bloat for me.
Personally I use both. I have Sonar set to pull from Usenet first, then a private tracker, then a few public trackers. I just like Usenet because it works really good with all my wife's reality TV shows. I always had trouble getting them with torrents.
I think duck duck go is better personally. There are still a ton of Google services id have trouble leaving though. Google photos, Maps, Docs ect. I don't think I could quit google altogether.
I used to to think the android mobile app was slow. It's gotten allot better though. Now that it supports uBlock I think it's the best browser for Android.
I like it here! That being said there are a few subreddits I'd miss if I quit reddit completely. I'll probably use both for a while.
I'd get a Fairphone if it worked on Verizon.
