Favorite social media site(s)?

Post Reply New Topic

Other than WP, what is everyone's favorite site(s) for conversation or even just browsing user generated content?

I picked Youtube, because it's the only one I use (without an account). I use it for music videos, not conversation.

I was on Facebook for a long time, and for a lesser time; Twitter.

I don't like either of them for their lack of privacy. Though getting into the 'groups' on Facebook can be entertaining if a person manages to find a good one.

I don't use any other sites for communication.

Facebook is the only one I really use for communication. Not sure I like it that much, but it's the easiest way to contact most people I know. Watch a lot of YouTube, but have never left a comment on anything.

Mastodon. It's so chilled and friendly there.

Yes I deleted my Facebook account when they asked me for ID. No way are they having that.

YouTube and Pinterest is all I've ever needed. I have Instagram solely to use as a chat app because my friends never answer their actual text messages so I got on there solely out of necessity and annoyance. I made a private Facebook (using a fake name and one of those disposable emails so idk how long it'll last) just to make posts in Splatoon because in order to do that you have to link to FB or Twitter and I will not touch Twitter within a 10-foot-pole, especially not after what Elon did to it. ("X"? really? cmon.)

on YT and Pinterest I comment on things, but I don't upload my stuff. I've been thinking about making a new YT channel out of boredom but idk. Pinterest is more of a boredom-reducing/brain-numbing tool for me.

I also use Ibis Paint's built-in art sharing service, and I guess that counts as social media by traditional means but not to me personally.

I stick to forums. Various ones that are related to my hobbies and interests. WP is a particularly useful one because it's possible to talk about many different things (including politics and religion which are quite sensibly prohibited on many forums).

WP is still a place that offers what places like Facebook do not, for many people.

A sense of community.

On Facebook, one can often just be a random person lost in a sea of 'like' farmers and news and status updates.

On WP at least some of your posts are read, digested, and replied to and not by the usual angry crowd that seem to respond on social media.

city-data forum.I just have facebook to keep in touch with my missionary friends in India.I loved MySpace but it got destroyed by facebook.I try to not do social media too much.I do browse Reddit but never post.I am not on any of the newer sites because of my addictive nature and privacy concerns.

Tumblr.

It isn't social, really, since you can be on it and not interact with anyone besides reblogging (or liking) their posts. Which is great as far as I'm concerned. No arguments. But if you want to you can add a reply when you reblog a post, or you can private message, so it's social for some. Lots of autistic folks, at least in some parts of it.
