How socially active are you online and on what platforms? Do you have any particular favorite social networks and resources where you spend the most time? Or vice versa, resources that you try to ignore every time you come across them?

I’m quite active on MAL while I’m barely paying attention to Discord. I haven’t used Discord once this month for reasons soo..

I'm pretty active mostly on other databases, such as MyWaifuList, Cagematch & Goodreads, PSN also.

I mostly just farm points on MyWaifuList, but since I'm not a power user I can't do as much to get them.

Cagematch is a little like MAL for pro wrestling. Whenever I watch or attend a show I comment on it and rate it (if it's in the listings).
I sometimes do the matchguide also.
Honestly wish I joined it years ago, as I'd probably have thousands of entries by now considering how long I've been a fan, but it took me a while to feel confident sharing my opinions. Not like that even matters on that site, because your not allowed to actually chat to eachother or call other members out anyway.

Goodreads is just like MAL for books. I shelf/organise books I've read, and sometimes review them. Wanted to join things like groups on there, but they seem pretty dead...

And on PSN I just sometimes play games & chat with friends.

I'm a moderator on two other forums (one of which is pretty inactive so there isn't much work there), and I'm also active on Facebook. I don't have accounts on other social networks such as Twitter, Instagram, TikTok and such.

There are several other forums, including MAL, where I'm less active and only occasionally visit them.

I respect your opinion as long as you respect mine.

I'm not socially active at all. I avoid social medias like the plague because of how much of an algorithmic cesspool they have become.

I prefer real life to social media, to be fair. Way less cringe posturing and definitely no algorithm-based experience.

Definitely not as active as I used to be few years ago. Nowadays I mainly use MAL. I don't have Instagram account anymore and I rarely use Facebook.

I'm not really active online. Actually, it's like I'm deliberately trying to fade my internet relations.

Discord to talk to everyone I know I guess. I use twitter sometimes just to tweet shit I find funny. Used to go on reddit for like memes but tbh discord is much better for that when you hang out with the right people.

I spend a lot of time on 4chan and Reddit with some occasional visits on here.
Please, imagine that there's something funny here.

Currently, I'm back on MAL after taking a pause and adjusting to site xd... yet besides it, from any major big apps I only like can stand are Youtube (not sure if it's counted as a form of social media... if so, add Twitch here too), Instagram, Pinterest and Discord.

nowadays i'm the most active on facebook, mostly lurking and seeing my peers' posts. i almost never post or share anything there though. but i talk a lot on messenger; it's my most used app to communicate with my social network. as for my anon, online persona, i used to be incredibly active on discord but nowadays all my servers are kinda dead, so i don't enjoy being there as much anymore.

Now days Im very active on X/Twitter. I mostly just post stuff, repost what i found funny and like memes. I like Discord a lot but it always has that thing of "Fomo" (in the lack of a better word) that you HAVE to be connected or you just lose the good topic, so I mostly just sent meme and have small talks when i can. I try to be on the forums as most as possible, maybe perhaps it is the perfect mix between massive (like Twitter) and not Fomo (like Discord), but sometimes the webpages does help.

Facebook never opened nowdays and Instagram just to see the memes that my brother sent me

I am not active on any social media sites. Not Reddit, not Facebook, not Twitter or Instagram. I rarely peruse any of them. and post on none of them. I really do not see the point of most of them. I am more attracted to old school forums since there is a topic rather than shouting into the noisy void of Twitter, and forums are much more amenable to lengthy posts compared to the what, 240 character limit of a tweet?

As much as I hate to say it, if you want a lengthy discussion, Discord, Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, and Instagram are not conducive for these purposes. Reddit functions a bit better, but is held back by its subreddit culture and extensive moderation powertrips. Sadly, MAL is one of the better options if I want to find like-minded people with common interests who also like to talk about lengthy things outside of the offline world.

Going to be real honest, I think most smart people avoid posting frequently to these types of social media.

I also have a Linkedin, but it is more out of necessity than active usage.

Used to be on MAL a lot but kind of vanished for 10 months or so.

I mostly just use discord [have been running a pretty big server for the last 10 months] and also spend time on VRChat.

I honestly kind of miss the long-winded discussions I used to have on here.

Obviously for posting random stuff I still have youtube, instagram and twitter but I don't engage with any of those socially, I just post shit lmao

Beside MAL, I also used Anilist. I also have a Facebook, Twitter/X, and I do use forum for specific fandom (video game, K-pop/K-drama, etc....).

If socially active means spamming posts in forum threads, then pretty okay i guess :P
