I read Twitter, Reddit and Tumblr when I'm bored. I don't use social media for communication.

the only websites i use nowadays are youtube, tumblr, MAL, and reddit. otherwise, i spend all my time "online" listening to music on spotify, doing my neopets dailies, or reading manga. so nah, it doesn't really bother me. i barely talk to anyone on a regular basis online anymore so it doesn't really stress me out or make me feel like i'm missing out.


I never used that site, but that has to be the rare times here i see anyone mention neopets or places like fantage. 2000s internet was such a different time back then.


yeah neopets is a whole different place now, especially since flash died. i'm holding tight to the vestiges of my childhood but everything has changed ๐Ÿ˜”

No, I've always kept the amount of social media I use to a bare minimum for the sake of my own sanity.

I just use Discord as a more secure way of PMing people, beside that, it's only MAL and well I guess you could say 4chan if we're talking all social media.
The good thing about anonymous online image boards is that there's really no social pressure to "show up" and spend a specific amount of time with people.
Maybe that's just me being an introvert though.

I'm an artist and graphic designer, so eventually I'll have to delve a bit more into the normie space of... *shudders* ...Instagram.

All art sites turn to shit sooner or later, Deviantart is a fetish den as one example and instagram is a cancerous shitshow like twatter and tiktok. So my advice go with artstation and pixiv as at least the dominos hasn't collapsed on them yet or hell even start your own website to show case your own works.

I spend around 2 daily hours on instagran cuz the fcking reels are just a fcking drug. And i fcking hate it, is basically wasting time.

On the other hand, there was a time where i spent around 4 hours a day on twitter cuz i used to roleplay there. Tbf it's a lot of time but didn't feel like i was wasting it but instead doin' smth i enjoyed.

I don't really use social media for a lot of the reasons already posted in this thread. However the main reason is that I really don't care or can't relate to most of the things that people talk about on it. It seems like most people just use them to scream about political stuff or to talk about whatever the big name show/movie that just came out that I'm not going to bother to watch.
Another thing about social media is there's way too many people on most of them. Most of anything you're going to say will be lost in the millions of other posts that went out at the same time yours did making it hard to have a actual conversation vs a slower moving forum which at least gives you the ability to have people see what you said.

Yeah i completetly avoid politics at all times since its all total cringe and also yeah, lot of those accounts are actually bots shilling shit honestly. And yeah lately i've been just yeeting my self from discord servers i was never active on deleting whatever post history i may have had their and just sticking to close friend servers because of how exhausting they can be.

I stay away from the majority of social media sites for the sake of what little sanity I have left. I have enough random dramatic bullshit in my life without adding bullshit internet drama on top of it.

I use Facebook (just for the messenger), Youtube, and lurk on Twitter sometimes

Used to use Instagram but felt pointless so I removed it

And I guess I post stuff on MAL

Not really. I may mindlessly scroll Twitter and IG a lot of the time, but rarely do I get invested in whatever bullshit is going on.

Yes, I always have to encounter Tiktokers at my school and sometimes I wish Tiktok was Banned! Seriously though I swear i’m the only person who finds Tiktok cringy and weird lol.. Also there’s those twitter users who get mad at you for doing anything. Tiktok and Twitter are definitely overwhelming because of the stupid and crazy people on those platforms!

I'm pretty sure those aren't social media. Just chat apps

No not really also if you think Mal's not a circle jerk fest I have a bridge to sell you.

nope not really literally is on my profile.
I've also had to changed most my names to this after a bot hacked one of my accounts and started going through to other website accounts which still had my old Hazarddex name.
