I made the choice to migrate from Reddit to Lemmy because the R had become a disaster. I'm getting more and more interested in Peertube because I don't like it when a company like YouTube isn't independent but linked to big G. But why Mastodon? Why would people want to migrate to Mastodon where the whole point is to chat with people, except there's no one there?

I mean, to me, Mastodon is like a huge Discord server. Did you really take the step to be fully integrated into Fedivers, because X poses problems in terms of privacy, or simply because you want to support free and open source software? I wanted to know your opinion on this for the people on Mastodon.

Mastodon is easily the largest decentralized social network. Idk what you're on about.

Mastodon isn't like a huge Discord Server. It is EVERY Discord Server. You can read everything from everything while using anything you want. ActivityPub is THE greatest thing since the Internet and enables great interoperating services like Mastodon, Kbin, Lemmy, PeerTube, Pixelfed, Friendica and a tons more.

And I'm here because I want to stick it up the Man, and also because I like interop and free software.

I think you're doing it wrong. There are lots of people on Mastodon.

The Mastodon instance I'm on (wetdry.world) has HUNDREDS of users. Don't use an instance like mastodon.social and you'll have a better time.
