I liked Rednote better than TikTok while I used it. I liked actually being able to browse videos instead of being forced to infinity scroll. But I dropped off of both well before the ownership changes.

i migrated to Mastodon way before the "big" migration because the experience is just genuinely better. same for Reddit->Hexbear

My experience was kinda funny. I went from Reddit to .world and saw people malding over hexbear and grad. At first I was like, ew, Chinese and Russian propaganda, and didn't like some of the dogpiling I saw. But then I saw some people calmly explaining their point of view, and realizing that it aligned with what I believed. I saw what (I think it was) Guevara said about socialism being a form of loving people. Then I came to hexbear and slowly got radicalized further and further.

For me Mastodon is really more a migration from the blogosphere. Many of the blog I followed 10-15 years ago are on Mastodon but now you can talk to the bloggers in a more convenient way than comment sections. And you can follow that people from the comment sections too to see what they are up to.

Never liked Twitter much.
