I use Facebook daily since most of my friends are still on it (it’s still pretty commonly used in Australia) and there’s some groups that are more active than the equivalent communities on Lemmy.

I’m on YouTube daily too. It’s still the place to find most video creators and there’s not really a good alternative yet. I’ve been using it forever so their algorithm understands what types of videos I like.

I have an Instagram but rarely use it. My last post was maybe 5 years ago. I just use it to watch reels my wife sends to me.

I still have my Twitter account but only visit it maybe once every week or two. Same with Reddit.

Not on Discord or Tiktok.

I like long form discussion, which is why I prefer Lemmy and Facebook over Mastodon and Twitter.

All of them. If a social media site exists, I’m on it. I have the world record for the most sites having signed up for.

Nope. I will never use centralised social media again. Too many years exposed to social media that just doesn’t give a shit about the welfare of its users

Yes, one beside Lemmy out of necessity. There is this app called LINE that started as a humble instant messaging service to serve as a communication aid during the Tohoku Earthquake in Japan. Now it tries to be everything: payment, shopping, interest groups, food ordering, ride calling, music, news, loaning money, etc.

I only use the LINE core function to get by every day, because everyone around me is using it, casually and professionally. My country is using it for everything, even in governmental affairs. It’s however only very popular in Japan, Taiwan, Indonesia, and Thailand, where I reside. There are theories regarding why it is so popular in those countries, but one I believe is its “cuteness” functionality, where you can send “stickers” to each other, something like an elaborated emoji.

I, too, use LINE regularly because I used to live in Japan and have many friends there I’m in regular contact with. I agree with you that the cuteness is a significant factor for its popularity.

Discord and Tumblr.

Since Musk bought Twitter I’ve been more active on Tumblr and as long as you don’t go anywhere that takes itself too seriously, it’s actually refreshing and lovely.

Similarly, when I signed up for Bluesky I decided I’d only follow people I know IRL and artists, and to not be afraid to use the mute or block, and it’s been great. Just a steady stream of art and people discussing art.

I’ve also got Mastodon, Pillowfort, and Cohost accounts I never really use.

LinkedIn for job shit only. I don’t like follow and comment and shit. I don’t really get the whole point.

The point is to network and make yourself look very successful and likable, a great lover or humanity, one of the best in your field but yet the most humble and grateful for all things that happen in your life… :)

You regularly post obvious uplifting quotes to your peers, who likes them and writes little comments back about how true that quote is, hoping to be promoted the next time there is a company reorg.

I can’t stand it. :)

Surely this is just ass kissers liking and commenting on the bosses weird ass linked in ego trip?

Is anyone liking and commenting peer’s linked in stuff thinking that’ll score them a promotion? Why would the company care about this?

Where I have worked, try company arranges events at work, like cooking something, or some mystery game, and then takes pictures of that and posts on linkedin. Then they ask employees to comment and say how fun it was.

It’s just HR marketing disguised as something else.

I too loathe LinkedIn, but have to use it. To make myself feel better, I spend an equal amount of time on shlinkedin afterwards.

I tried screaming the latest r/new posts on the subway but I got stabbed. No more social media outside for me.

Yep - I use Facebook and Instagram regularly. I spend a lot of time in both tapping on “hide this” or “show less of this” or “report and block user”, but I find it worth it for the interactions with some like minded people in hobby related groups. I’m aware of the privacy implications, but I figure I’ve been there for so long there’s not much more for them to learn about me. I use ad and tracker blocking to slow them down a little.

TrickDacy ,

Not really. I have an Instagram account I haven’t truly used in years but that’s about it

I have a bluesky account because several twitter friends went over there. I barely use it because my mastodon feed is a lot more interesting.
