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.

What social media do you use?
You know what they say, don't you? About how us MechWarriors are the modern knights, how warfare has become civilized now that we have to abide by conventions and rules of war. Don't believe it.

RE: What social media do you use?
Erm... does this forum count? I don't really know the boundaries of what constitutes social media.
If not then that would be a big fat zero. If anyone wants to know what I had for breakfast this morning... well it was a cherry yoghurt.

I use the one where people don't tell lies and make up stuff just because they can. To put it plainly, I use none of them. Just this forum.

I have my circle of friends on WhatsApp. I opened a Twitter account when the pandemic started, mostly to have head-ups about what's happening. Boy, what a stupidity magnet Twitter is [&:]

Wikipedia gives some examples. And yes, this Matrix Games Forums can be CONSIDERED as one. As does Usenet and BBS. I have used those too, but it's been years since last time.ORIGINAL: warspite1

Me 2 Lobster, just this forum, Lock & Load and Blizzard.
heh i wont go back to Blizzard or World of Warcraft, its bad over there. Like players been saying anal this, anal that, trumplins and hardly any talks about something creative in trade/general chat. Use to have good ol chuck norris jokes, but that is long gone now. Sadly to see those kids reading all that, i know can block some of it under the option menu, but that is not enough.
RE: What social media do you use?
I have lots of accounts at various places but
rarely post anything.
Social Media unites people who have similar passions/tastes
but by the same token divides them from
others who do not share those passions/tastes.
At least that is the general impression I get.

RE: What social media do you use?
Edit, well life is about change I guess.
I've become a fan of Steam.
I've toned down my enthusiasm for FB hobby-specific groups. Socially stunted people are everywhere.
I've learned to distrust anything on the internet.
Seeing is not automatically believing, and is often depressing.
I don't use any other apps, but I also never post via cellphone.
I'm trying to return to the 70s when most of my day/life wasn't on a device (unless playing a good wargame).
Building lots of models.
Doing lots of paintings.
And stopping to read my books in the sun while out riding my bike.

Wargame, 05% of the time.
Play with Barbies 05% of the time.
Play with Legos 10% of the time.
Build models 20% of the time
Shopping 60% of the time.
Exlains why I buy em more than I play em.

RE: What social media do you use?
This forum (and mainly THE THREAD!!! [&o][&o][&o]) has been my "home on the internet" for many years now. I have a fb account and used it quite a bit to keep up with groups and old military and school friends, but I've really drifted away from it over the last month or so. Don't have the app on my phone anymore, either. I'll keep the account as a way to reach out to distant friends, but that's about it. I don't have a twitter account, but look there occasionally for news updates about my Carolina Hurricanes.
Wow, post #18,000 to describe how little social media I use. [:D]

RE: What social media do you use?
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|]

Just WhatsApp, to keep in touch with my high school pals and a few friends living far from my hometown.

Since I left Facebook recently over censorship concerns, at the moment: none.
Facebook is great for keeping in touch with extended family, but anyway ... too bad.
