Youtube: I don't spend a lot of time watching videos, but when I do it's still usually on Youtube, as I can't find what I like anywhere else. I don't expect to be able to completely ditch this one unless the cost of hosting videos goes down a lot.
Facebook: It's been a few months since I used this one. The only thing I use it for is to send someone a message if I don't have any contact information aside from their name, which is something the fediverse can't currently replicate. It's slowly becoming less relevant as fewer and fewer people in my cohort are active on Facebook.
Twitter: I used this one for less than a year in 2021, and deleted my account in 2022.
Instagram: I made an account on this one a few years ago but never made posts with it, and evetually deleted my account. I don't use #Pixelfed , because I can post pictures from #Sharkey so I don't see a reason to make another account.
Reddit: I deleted my account recently. I haven't made a #Lemmy or #KBin account though obviously I can still interact with them from #Sharkey.
Discord: This is the proprietary social network I use the most. There are a lot of communities that don't seem to have alternatives elsewhere. I am hopeful for the future of #Matrix , but it still feels like a beta, and I can't recommend it to people without technical skills.
Tiktok: I haven't used this in a few years, but I haven't deleted my account either.
Pinterest: I haven't used this in a few years, but I haven't deleted my account either. I'm also not sure what the fediverse alternative is.
Zoom: I have to use this for work. I'm hopeful matrix video calls will eventually be a viable replacement.
Fandom: I have stopped making constructive edits, but I kept my account in case I can use it to vandalize wikis or help them leave Fandom. There is no fediverse alternative I'm aware of: just a bunch of self-hosted wikis that can't interact with each other.
