Ask HN: How do you use the Fediverse?
1 akk0 2 9/9/2025, 5:01:10 PM
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?
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)
