(You don’t have to put their @, just say yes or no if you want.)
I got permission from her, so my GF is @[email protected]
Cries in doesn’t have a significant other
No. Wife and kids only use the Big tech apps. I think ads and tracking don’t bother them as much as they do me.
I tried to get mine to join, but my girlfriend spent a few hours here on a Saturday morning. She looked up my username, saw how much grief I got just for advocating third-party voting, and decided everyone here is way too extreme and hateful.
Which might be true, but she also played Grow a Garden on roblox while we watched the super awesome Charlie Sheen documentary on Netflix last night, so I can’t take her judgment too seriously.
my wife doesn’t have any questions about my behavior on the internet unfortunately
Maybe she should. Does she know about your username.
My partner uses Mastodon, but not Lemmy.
Lemmy, but very rarely
No. Doesn’t use any social media really, but did make a little-used account on bluesky after closing their twitter down.
Nah, I got them to make an account but they don’t actually use it
Significant other?
no.
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
My wife still uses reddit now and then, but I can’t because I’m banned :-/
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.
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
Not sure if I agree with you. consol os’s are so much more simple than full a full desktop os, everything makes much more intuative sense and there are less complications you need to worry about. And of course you don’t need to spend any time learning about the different types of hardware and all the compatibility issues or if your buying prebuilt it can be overwhelming with all the different companies and selections. In the consol market there are 4 options really: ps5, ps5 pro, xbox s and xbox x.
They totally do, that’s how I became a user :3
Nope, she tunes out when I start talking about federated services. Just not something that captures her interest/she gives any real thought about.
