@jwildeboer I’m not just new to the Fediverse but I’m new to social media. I avoided signing up for a social media account until February 2026. Curiosity got to me. I chose Mastodon because I read “The Internet Con” by Cory Doctorow.

@jwildeboer I was part of the great Twitter migration of '22. Those were heady days when everything seemed possible.

@jwildeboer I am guessing a good number of the 3-5 years group was the twitter melt down time frame. I selected that. But actually I had signed up for diaspora long before. But I didn’t really use it. So it probably doesn’t count properly.

@jwildeboer I was going to reply 3-5 then realised that @Floppy created this instance way before the pandemic which meant that it had to be more than 5 years ago.

@brunogirin @jwildeboer this instance went online in 2017, though very few people used it until John Mastodon day.

@Floppy @jwildeboer Yes, I thought 2017 but wasn't sure. I know I registered shortly after you created it but didn't really use my account at first.

@jwildeboer Many of us came over about the same time Musk took over Twitter/X.

@Jan Wildeboer
:krulorange: I signed up during the Twitter collapse, but not because of it. I just happened to hear about it then and though I'd never used Twitter before, thought Fedi sounded cool.

First insight: "Far longer than I originally thought" is quite popular

@jwildeboer I'm totally new, I joined in February ! I never had an account on any other social media before, but so far I'm happy to be here.

@jwildeboer 3.5 on mastodon, a lot longer if you count in a now defunct diaspora node...

@jwildeboer
Looks like I've been on this self-hosted instance since 2024, and my original account on another server is from 2023, so about 3 years in total. -

I initially got an account in 2016, but never used it. When I came back to the Fediverse in 2022 during the Great Twitter Migration, that instance was no longer active, so I got an account on mastodon.lol. When that instance went down I moved to my current instance, me.dm.
