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.
Significant other?

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
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.
We run quite a few fediverse instances together, so yes :)
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.
No, but she "stalks" me here sometimes to see what I'm up to and I appreciate it, lol.
No, she doesn't use any kind of social media anymore, which is kinda ironic considering we met on Twitter.
Yep, but not on Lemmy. She uses Mastodon.
my wife doesn't have any questions about my behavior on the internet unfortunately
No, the fedi is still mostly tech/privacy enthusiasts which doesnβt really describe her.
Nah our ideals are very different
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.
Yep
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.
Not on lemmy, but she has moved to BlueSky
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.
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 partner uses Mastodon, but not Lemmy.
My wife still uses reddit now and then, but I can't because I'm banned :-/
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 canβt take her judgment too seriously.
Lemmy, but very rarely
How do you guys manage to make a relationship work on different instances?
Everyone that isnβt on piefed.world is a fascist commie far-right tankie heathen.
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
Nope. I can't even get her off windows although the steamdeck did impress her.
No. Doesn't use any social media really, but did make a little-used account on bluesky after closing their twitter down.
Cries in doesn't have a significant other
Nah, I got them to make an account but they don't actually use it
