Cuz the comments throught Lemmy/Piefed seems to indicate that literally every user on here is a FOSS/Dencentralization Purist and has 100% abandoned mainstream platforms.

I wonder if this is actually true or just a small minority of users being overrepresented.

    the fediverse platforms i use are Lemmy, Mastodon, and PeerTube

    i dont use any nonfree social media but am active on Discord (which is social media adjacent, being a chatroom platform)

    i also watch Youtube videos (through Invidious) and occasionally browse Reddit meme communities but i dont have accounts on those

    and i havent abandoned any mainstream platforms, i never used them, was never allowed to by parents (and never wanted to because i was properly educated about online privacy) (the reason i have discord is a dnd group)

    i went down the libre software pipeline due to autism and my first pc running linux (my dad is a tech person), ive only ever had linux computers and a macbook (not counting mobile devices tho; i have an iphone and plan to replace it with a linux phone)
