    Are any of these actually good?

    I mean, aside from Lemmy. I tried Mastadon and no one was actually on it, seems like everyone is jumping to Bluesky.

      I can vouch for Signal. I got my whole family out of facebook messenger to make a new place for family chat. Even my parents in their mid 60s had no problem changing.

      Depends on how many you follow. Lemmy is way more dead than Mastodon for me.

      People only move to Bluesky because they don’t want to change their thinking (picking instances is hard!) and keep using “Twitter”.

        I can understand it. I was banned without reason from 3 of the top mastodon instances before even posting anything. Creating new accounts is a hassle, and it’s easy to lose faith in the system when bans happen without reason and none of the instances cared to respond to my appeals. In heinsight, I’m sure the ban was due to my username looking like a hash, but I still find it crazy that the appeals were ignored.

      It might feel that way at first, but my Mastodon feed is very robust nowadays. You just need to follow more people.
