What social media do you use?

I had a page on Facebook and, thanks to it, both my elementary school friends and high-school friends managed to find each other again. We organised some meetings and they were happy occurrences.

Now the page lays abandoned. But I love to say that I'm among the 0.0001% of Facebook users that used FB for what it was meant for [;)]

I just do TheBlitz and here. I really have only one game that interests me. [:)]

I tried FB and found it a waste of my time. My wife took a little longer but came to the same conclusion.[:'(]
Simply too many horrible people with "keyboard courage" that would say something they would never say to your 'face'.

But, I am old school and will die old school. [8|]

My one defining internet characteristic. I'm the same in person as I am online. I mean what I say, and I say what I mean.

Yes, I've seen that in you. [&o]
I'm the same. I'm about clarity over agreement. But, I must have civil discussion along the way.
Facebook seems to be a place for those who want to call people names and belittle them, from afar.
I'm for stand in front of me and do that. If they don't pee their pants, of course. [;)]

I have accounts on Facebook and Twitter, but I seldom use them. Those have got some bad rep over bans & censorship, so I registered on Gab just recently. Look at that, Gab has a Wargamers group (looks like messages aren't visible to unregistered users). Joined! I'm most active on Discord, and I watch videos on YouTube where I also make an occasional comment. I've also got Whatsapp account, but so far I have only used it among the family. Rarely I make use of IRC.

If you want to chat with me in real-time or invite me to game, you can find me on Discord with my first name (Matti) on Matrix Games and Hex! servers.

None other than a few forums.

I never will use Facebook, Instagram, Twitter. I live in the real world.

Those things are just giant spying machines or at best echo chambers.

Just here and Linkedin for work.

I largely agree and understand the dislike of FB and social media as a whole.

If I were to come into a million-plus dollars, my use for social media would immediately cease. I'd be too busy enjoying the offline world. Me, my tiny home, a truck to pull it. Social media would be the last thing I'd want to do with my day.

But, I'm currently stuck in my apartment, more or less stuck in my town, more or less unable to get very far. I have friends in distant places. They are the only ones I wish to communicate with. My 'Friend' list is particularly small. I don't seek out new contacts. I'm ok with the occasional newcomer to my circle. But the 'Find New Friends' feature is one I never use.

I also realized I needed a reason to be on any forum, beyond expressing opinions. This is where I buy my computer wargames. As well as a few Steam titles. I know of many wargamer centric locations online. But they don't sell the games.

We are all stuck in one way or another.

Hit me up on Facebook and we can discuss it...

Tumblr and Instagram - mainly because I'm an artist and I'm trying to build an audience to have money. Besides that various forums and Steam.
Also, youtube. There are many good hobby channels on youtube now.

Used to use Deviant Art but it got invaded by manipulative mass-faving artists and then by outright bots.

I do not use Facebook, Twitter, or other social media. What with all the misinformation on the internet these days, I don't need any more.

Was on Facebook and Twitter many years ago. Finally got tired of them and quit them cold turkey. Haven't missed them at all and have no intention of ever signing up on a social media site.
If someone wants to get ahold of me they can call, write, email, text, or drop by.

Reddit, Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook are some of the most useable social media platforms. As the app gets less and less relevant or useful in my daily life, I'm considering uninstalling it. It's also the app that's arguably the least healthy, as it's a bad source for anything progressive or instructive.

Here, and the Blitz. I have a LinkedIn account that has never been used. Outside of these none.

If we can count some forums, including this one, then I use quite a few.

You know the general Facebook and Instagram, Snap and few more.
Starting use Clubhouse now, it's quite unique.
As a writer, I also do have to use and follow certain writer's forum and also several other forum to feed my hobbies, like this one.
