Perhaps.  Often I check Reddit to see what my contacts there have posted; I haven't used Reddit as long as Facebook, but it does look like you can follow people on Reddit too.

Yeah, though Instagram still seems limiting to me.  I like that Facebook lets you post text, links, photos, etc. in the initial post.

I'm not familiar with Mastadon.  I might have to check it out.

My use of a social media site like Facebook mainly depends on how many of my friends & family use it.  If I don't know anyone who uses it, I'm not likely to use it either.  Sites like Reddit seem a bit different though - I use Reddit mainly for news & information & help with various things.
