I don't use social media, other than Mastodon.

WP and other autism forums have become important to me.

Pretty sure that 99% of posters here are Cornflake's sock-puppets. Including me.

I post because I'm bored.

And I'm bored for a good portion of my time.

I recently came back but I’m a different woman than I was when I first started posting. I move into my apartment this week. I don’t see a lot of members I met in my teens and early 20s. That being said, I see less people here than I did in 2010. Social media support Facebook groups are more popular now.

I think that this is a well established fact, that has been discussed on the forum already.

I think it is a shame personally, but it is what it is.

It is a shame because there are things that I would rather talk about here that I can’t talk about on social media. On Facebook, I risk people I know in real life seeing it and knowing that it’s me. I prefer to keep some of my rants and raves anonymous.

I know what you mean. Facebook is a privacy minefield. Even with ones privacy settings ramped up to the max, you still are prodded to share everything with 'friends' for an easy user experience, most of who aren't actual friends.

There is a way to share things with certain people on Facebook, excluding some people, even friends, but it isn't easy or intuitive to do so.
