    I use only Mastodon, even though I got accounts on other platforms too. I’m not super sure what the issue is with Mastodon, but, as I’m moving away from Youtube, the thing I’m missing is, paradoxically, the algorithm suggesting different creators or videos. To clarify: I hate that, I think is sick and controlling, but, as I have used that social for so many years, I think I got quite addicted. Can be the same for other users?

      I get it. But also I have about ten content creators on YouTube that I love that aren’t hosted anywhere else other than scalping reposters. I try to go there and only watch the handful of new videos from those channels but occasionally I get sucked in by the algorithm with other videos I end up liking pretty well.
