(You don’t have to put their @, just say yes or no if you want.)
I got permission from her, so my GF is @PieInTheSky@feddit.online
My wife still uses reddit now and then, but I can’t because I’m banned :-/
Nope, she tunes out when I start talking about federated services. Just not something that captures her interest/she gives any real thought about.
My husband is the PC gamer and I am the Nintendo lady but I am the only one here. I am also his tech support somehow.
somehow.
The barrier for entry between consoles and PC is basically identical at this point, and they’re both easy enough that anyone but infants and late stage dementia sufferers can access these days. I imagine only those with an interest in the actual hardware would be relegated to family tech support
They totally do, that’s how I became a user :3
Yes, she actually joined recently - I hope she starts posting too, her art is great and more people should see it. Not giving a handle for now because she’s shy.
Significant other?
Nope, my wife uses Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Discord.
Can’t get her to adopt Fediverse equivalents.
I’d say I choose quality over quantity, but she mostly is in artist communities that don’t want to move off the old platforms. They say they were there before the crazies, they aren’t the problem, so they’re not gonna move, even if the people who own those platforms are straight up fascists. I couldn’t do it.
Yep. My partner is basically the same as yours here. Too many niche communities on other social media and unwilling to give it up in spite of the ideological issues.
I think it’s just harder for some than others. I was never THAT attached to social media anyway so…this is fine for me. If I run out of content on my feed for the day its probably time to log off anyway
No, she doesn’t use any kind of social media anymore, which is kinda ironic considering we met on Twitter.
We run quite a few fediverse instances together, so yes :)
💓❤️💞
Welcome!
Thank you!

He got an account just to spy me on here from time to time (I mean it in a cute way), but I don’t think he has any interest of actually using it, for now at least. He’s not really a “social media” person, Instagram is like his “main platform” but only because all his friends are there lol
He has shown interest in my “decentralization journey” (for lack of a better term, I guess) because we share similar values and he recognizes that moving traffic to popular social media websites like Instagram or Twitter is harmful because the parent companies are awful (less focus on privacy, more focus on environmental impact and political issues). Got him to use Bluesky instead of Twitter because of this.
keep being a good influence; get anyone and all that you can in the good fight against centralized corporate control.
No, the fedi is still mostly tech/privacy enthusiasts which doesn’t really describe her.
wife followed me to signal, reddit -> lemmy, and linux.
She got there on linux before me when her win 7 computer broke down and I reanimated her old laptop with linux (although a light version of ubuntu) I’ll be joining her soon; if you want me to use something debian based that isn’t Ubuntu studio, hit me up with recs in this thread : https://lemmy.world/post/35450797?scrollToComments=true
Not on lemmy, but she has moved to BlueSky
How do you guys manage to make a relationship work on different instances?
Everyone that isn’t on piefed.world is a fascist commie far-right tankie heathen.
Just reading your comments I know what the user name will be, keep it up my good fellow
