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

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

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.
balsoft@lemmy.ml · 7 pts · 346d
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.
ArgumentativeMonotheist@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 347d
No, but she "stalks" me here sometimes to see what I'm up to and I appreciate it, lol.
RabbitMix@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 5 pts · 347d
No, she doesn't use any kind of social media anymore, which is kinda ironic considering we met on Twitter.
Twakyr@feddit.org · 5 pts · 346d
They totally do, that’s how I became a user :3
Flamekebab@piefed.social · 5 pts · 347d
Yep, but not on Lemmy. She uses Mastodon.
victorz@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 347d
I got her on Reddit ages ago but I think she stopped using it because the official app sucks so much. I don't think she's interested anymore though. Instagram mostly.
SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world · 4 pts · 347d
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
Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 2 pts · 345d
What?
Can't say my instance is any of that.
Honestly I rarely found any fellow instance user to be pretty logical
mesamunefire@piefed.social · 4 pts · 347d
Yep
TORFdot0@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 347d
No, the fedi is still mostly tech/privacy enthusiasts which doesn’t really describe her.
crmsnbleyd@sopuli.xyz · 1 pts · 345d
Is it though? I see a lot more non-tech people there day by day. Lemmy might be more niche cause of network effects
Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 1 pts · 345d
You're right. They forgot (US-)politics
RoquetteQueen@sh.itjust.works · 4 pts · 346d
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.
cheloxin@lemmy.ml · 4 pts · 346d
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
pineapple@lemmy.ml · 1 pts · 346d
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.

my wife doesn't have any questions about my behavior on the internet unfortunately
AnnaFrankfurter@lemmy.ml · 4 pts · 345d
Maybe she should. Does she know about your username.
Delusion6903@discuss.online · 3 pts · 345d
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.
Yeahigotskills2@lemmy.ml · 3 pts · 346d
My wife still uses reddit now and then, but I can't because I'm banned :-/
Sal@mander.xyz · 3 pts · 345d
Lemmy, but very rarely
Cracks_InTheWalls@sh.itjust.works · 3 pts · 346d
Nope, she tunes out when I start talking about federated services. Just not something that captures her interest/she gives any real thought about.
BlueEther@no.lastname.nz · 3 pts · 346d
Not on lemmy, but she has moved to BlueSky
crmsnbleyd@sopuli.xyz · 1 pts · 345d
Hope she's at least bridging to fedi!
DJDarren@sopuli.xyz · 3 pts · 345d
My partner uses Mastodon, but not Lemmy.

Cries in doesn't have a significant other
HubertManne@piefed.social · 2 pts · 347d
Nope. I can't even get her off windows although the steamdeck did impress her.
scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech · 2 pts · 347d
Spouse is on Linux, but because one by one her devices started to switch. Setting up a new gaming pc, oh that's weird it has Linux. Setting up the new gaming console, and it has bazzite. Suddenly they're only using linux
moopet@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 345d
No. Doesn't use any social media really, but did make a little-used account on bluesky after closing their twitter down.
crmsnbleyd@sopuli.xyz · 1 pts · 345d
Nah, I got them to make an account but they don't actually use it
