I jumped ship after the 3rd party app fiasco.
I never used it, so I had no reason to make a switch. I also did make a mastodon account once, but I don't know what happened to it and I can't find it.
I only ever use it for updates for a few games. Also, I can't ditch it because the club I'm in at my community college, the club discord server is how we communicate and there's probably no way I could convince the club to switch since the next year, various members might have gotten their degree or left the club for various reasons.
If my favorite channels switched over to something like Peertube or even some place like Odysee, then I'd definitely switch. Most of the people I watch would never leave and I just don't feel like putting in the effort to find new people to watch since I've been watching some of my favorites for over a decade.
The youtube thing is unfortunately the hard truth imo as well.
But I have good news on discord: matrix has bridges for all messaging apps that you can use to puppeteer your accounts. You only use matrix and talk to all your friends no matter the platform. Iโm only getting into it but its awesome. Some instances like tchncs.de already have bridges for you to use.
Good luck with your journey. :) feel free to hit me up on matrix if you visit. @haui:matrix.giftedmc.com
