None. I created a FaceBook account years ago just to see what it is, but only visited it half a dozen times. My Wife is the same. She may have a FaceBook account, but I don’t think so. She never talks about it or shows me anything from it anyway. I think most of her side of the family is on it. Donno.
I work from home now (thank god) but keep connected to my co-workers through email and Slack IM’s. Some of that is just chit-chat how ya doing today stuff. 99% is work related though.
One of my cousins doesn’t have a cell phone or email address.
I consider SDMB to be social media though, and I’m here a lot. You guys really step up to the plate when I can’t puzzle something out.
I have a FB account and I post maybe once a month, and it’s usually a repost of something silly. I mainly use FB to keep with my hobby groups (horses and British mystery books and tv shows). I do have an Instagram account and I have never posted. Once again, I follow a few hobby posters. I’m active here and on another BB (for horses, natch).
I have a Facebook account, just because I rarely actually see any family or friends anymore.
No Twitter no Instagram no Messenger no TikTok no Snapchat no LinkedIn no nothing else. I may have had a Myspace page way back in the day but it was always completely blank.
Reminded me I used to have a LiveJournal account for awhile millions of years ago. Even posted on it some. But that was back in the Cretaceous, pre-Russian sale I believe.
I was extremely active on Facebook from 2008 until a couple of years ago - pictures of myself with family and friends, random status updates about what I was up to, pictures from the RPG sessions I attended, etc. I probably posted on my Facebook page two to five times a day, nearly every day.
I made a conscious decision to pull back from FB, maybe four or five years ago, when it increasingly became full of people using the platform to make political/social screeds, and reposting inflammatory memes. It just wasn’t much fun to be on anymore.
I’m still on Facebook, but I might make one post a week, and it’s usually something silly, such as a bad Star Wars or D&D joke. I take a look at my friends’ posts, and may make a comment or two, but that’s about it.
I’m on LinkedIn, which is pretty close to a necessity for someone with a white-collar career, for networking purposes, if nothing else, but I don’t post articles or essays on it, the way some of my colleagues and former colleagues do. I’m also on Instagram, but I have all of one post on there – mostly, I use IG to follow a small number of artists and humorists I like.
Facebook account with a fake birthdate and location, I used it for a high school reunion and stay there because that’s the best place to keep in touch with some distant family/friends. Instagram account because I like pictures. That’s about it.
I’m on Facebook some, but only to communicate with friends and family about personal events. My wife is on it a lot — she’ll repost anything that she finds interesting, as well as personal events.
I have three accounts on Twitter. One with my real name, which I use mainly to lurk. The others are devoted to certain music fandoms.
I’m between Lurker and Nonexistent. I have a Facebook account, but mainly so my family and friends can check if I’m alive or not. I haven’t posted to it in over 3 years now, since I’ve never cared very much about what is going on in other people’s lives, and I don’t want to bore them with mine.
I also have a Twitter account using a pseudonym, but like my Facebook account I never post to it, and I only use it to check on some content on the rare occasion.
My LinkedIn account exists mainly as a professional courtesy to my coworkers, and I’ve brushed off numerous outreach attempts from recruiters.
I forgot I have a LinkedIn account. It seemed like a great idea when I signed up maybe 15 years ago, but it hasn’t actually been useful. However, I have used Facebook messenger to track down former bosses and colleagues to ask them to serve as references.
I see at least one person will admit to engaging in political debates on non-anonymous platforms. It’d be interesting to hear from others like me who are more willing to do that here as to why. (As Comic Book Guy once said upon being dumped, there are many valid reasons, but which one did you choose?)
I have a Whatsapp groups - the Friday lunch group of which the only posts are ‘Who’s coming to lunch this week and who’s bringing wine?’ and the responses.
The family and I also use Whatsapp for internet calls when travelling overseas (so, not much the last two years).
The opossum is the only North American marsupial. They eat the ticks which spread Lyme Disease. They are immune to venomous snake bites. Possums are awesome.
I’ve got a facebook account in my name that I very rarely post on, and when I do, it’s usually something current-events related, or some kind of historical oddity (found an old photo, etc…) I mostly use it to see what people I know are up to and smile at the pictures of their children/families.
That’s about it- I think at one point I had a twitter account under a pseudonym, but that’s it. Haven’t ever bothered with Instagram, Tik-tok, MySpace, or anything else social media related.
Over the years my friends and family have spread out so we don’t see each other as much as we would like. Most of us keep in touch with FB. There are a couple things I will not deal with on FB, that is politics and animal abuse. I have vanquished some cousins because of the political crap they insist on posting. A relative of my wife like to post stuff about animal abuse including some pretty graphic pictures. I don’t want to look at that stuff. My wife and I give generously to the Humane Society and the ASPCA. We are doing our part without seeing those cringe inducing pictures.
