X: Probably still my favorite platform but it’s getting worse and worse. At least, my lists and circles are fully functional, the search works quite good and brings me up the desired content. Finding new people gets different and is almost only possible when they commenting things with valuable content. The stream is going in the wrong direction (at least for me), where videos of fights, death or typical “sex sells” posts are shown. But working with communities and lists is still a great way to use it.

Fediverse: Runningm my own instance here for month. Sure no ads, but just a few interactions, finding new content is difficult, using the search is the probably worst experience ever. Sure, an instance cannot have knowledge of all instances in the world but when searching for not even niche content and only finding three posts that are even outdated, this is not useful or a great experience.

Threads: Could have been a great alternative. However, EU accounts do not support Fedi federation and the content is too mainstream in form of the typical Instagram content which is more about “sex sells”.

Blue sky: Anyone really still using it? I haven’t seen anyone anymore there being active.

Nostr: Hm yeah, too nichy.

Conclusion:
X stays on top, because only there I can find and interact content and people. Feediverse is a great alternative when you finally found your matching community where people are sharing your interests, because finding something by the search is just annoying. I can clearly understand why many ones are going back to Twitter/Y.
