Ranked threaded discussion, obviously.
A modern replacement for reading random bathroom labels while I’m on the john.
Sodium laureth sulfate hmm, Sodium lauryl sulfate
To talk to random internet strangers. Discuss life, computer issues, politics and whatnot. Sometimes I learn something. Sometimes I ask random questions that I didn’t find anwers to. Sometimes I just spend my downtime scrolling through posts.
What do you use it for?
Doomscrolling
How I used Reddit when it was on my phone. It is more rewarding than Twitter like things, which feel like yelling into the void.
I like the federation for interacting with people in a way that’s similar to previous social media sites, but without the bloat and advertising.
It’s also nice to not have to deal with the extreme political rhetoric unless I specifically look for it, such as HexBear or .ML instances.
My mastodon is mostly queer/alternative folk and I share my music and exploits online diary style.
Lemmy is mostly how I used Reddit, but I’m less of a lurker here.
Maker tube (Peertube) is cool because I can watch, make, or share videos like YouTube used to be before the commercialization.
TanukiTunes (FunkWhale) is awesome because I can upload my own music or listen to music without having to fork over data, and I can donate/purchase music directly through the profile’s preferred method instead of Spotify hellscape.
I’ll eventually get a Pixelfed for my photography exploits. I occasionally use Mastodon to share cool pics I find.
All in all, Federation is my net home. Love it
Posting pictures of the cute bugs in my garden. Enjoying the company and discussion of other Trek fans. Etc.
Beebutts lol love that
Entertainment, and occasionally interaction
Memes, cat pics, and sharing Taskmaster videos.
Sharing of information. However, there’s not many easy places for that nowadays without the risk of too much censorship. I just want to see all opinions, even the bad ones. I don’t want somebody else to decide what the bad ones are for me.

To take breaks from work stuff I come over just to see what’s going on.
Apparently it’s just a tool to talk about Linux for me.
Reading about the world beyond my immediate area which is really lacking in interesting things
