What forms of social media do you use?

Apart from this place, only Facebook. Which I have a love/hate relationship with. I'd be lonelier without it, but also less stressed. As I'm so crap at communicating with friends, it's good to have Facebook as a low-pressure way to do it. But when I'm depressed or anxious, I don't really interact with people, just read lots of stuff in the news feed that makes me worse. Wierdly enough, a lot of my best conversations on Facebook are with people I've barely met in real life. But I never feel I can be 100% honest on there. Probably just as well, given their privacy issues.

I use Soundcloud, but don't make much use of its (limited) social network functions- I mainly post links on Facebook, or swap links via email with a musician friend.

I tried Twitter, and still have an account. I don't get how to use it, though. I couldn't seem to follow a conversation or filter anything interesting out of the flow. I think it's optimised for someone who has a smartphone in their hands 24/7, not someone like me who's only online a few hours a week. The one thing I liked was the character limit, because I like writing and it's an interesting challenge. My few tweets were mostly haiku. But most of the tweets I saw were built around pictures, links or videos, which felt like cheating to me!

I don't it's weird.
Why would I want people to see my photo's, or my birthday.
Or gossip about me or my relationship. And the stalkers.

If someone truely cares about me, they will txt or email, or visit.

None. They got overwhelming, sensory overload, or whatever the correct terminology is, so over the last couple years I gradually left all of them.

I only use Facebook and then only on my phone. I rarely update my status on there and my pictures are years old. I mostly just like or share things on there.

I don't understand Twitter. It's just not something that interests me.

I've had a bit of a look at Reddit but I know I'd spend hours and hours reading it to the detriment of doing anything else meaningful like homework, so I've decided to stay away from it.

None actually. Social media generally makes me paranoid. I feel like privacy has been lost with people posting literally everything on the internet. Wrong Planet is probably one of the first forums I've actually taken part in to be honest.

Solitude and anonymity are highly underrated.

pretty much all of them facebook instagram snapchat

Facebook. I'm a member of quite a few groups there, many of them related to genealogy and species identification. I don't really develop/maintain relationships through Facebook. I use the account so that I can keep my relatives updated on my parents' health, as they both have cancer.

Twitter is a mess. I have one, but I don't really use it. I recently began posting my photos on Instagram because I like taking photos of flowers, plants, and insects. I use Tumblr, but not to socialize. I feel like that's the website to go to if you want to get doxxed.

I use facebook, but I have a very minimalist page.
I've never used twitter. I've looked into it, but I prefer the look of Gab anyway.
