Social Media?

[Rasha]

honestly I like to really distance myself from facebook because all of my school bullies lurk in there. when I first joined I could only remember the horrible school memories. a wasted childhood I can never have back
also somehow that place makes me feel like a worthless loser...

No, I refuse to use that rubbish.

I do have Steam, but I don't consider that nor Skype social media as for fb, twitter etc.

weren't you on Gaiaonline? lol what happened to that?

I stopped using social media about half a year ago. Somehow by being visible for people who play no real neaningful role in my life, I felt more invisible then ever. Its like you hear things about people, how they are doing, what makes them happy, but only because they post it on a big ass place, so everybody can read it. Because lets face it, I`d never hear those things from people whom in some cases played big roles in my life in the past in real life. Thats so depressing.

It creates a kind of imaginary world in which I have a social life and everytime I close the book (FaceBOOK haha, ugh) real life sinks in again, which empty as it is, feels even more emptier if you just illusioned yourself in believing there is more to it then there actually is.

Well, thats a somewhat depressing story, sorry for that.

I don't really use that as social media, I replied with that on the thread because it said other forums as well.

And I'm not exactly active. I just log in and donate to the events sometimes, that's it

Boy, you know I'm all up on that instagram (im_a_libra_), twitter (___oswin___), and skype (adore.me.i.am.willam)

I have facebook and that's it.

I only use facebook to contact friends to ask if they wanna hang out or go on a game. I don't really talk on it and I'm pretty sure I've never posted a status.



I just don't see the point in it really. Why post a random status or twitter update? There's only a handful of people from my friends lists that will actually care about it and I'm probably going to talk to them myself anyway.

Does my entire friends list really need to know I ate some toast or watched TV? No.

I don't use any social media.

 

[yosugay]

nah thats not uncommon. i have a friend like that and ive always wanted him to get a fb so we can talk on there but he doesnt want to get one so its w/e. we text sometimes but we kinda drifted apart cuz hes always busy with work and stuff like god how hard is it to just make a fb so u can post pics of urself and so i can see how ur doing and i can comment on em and he can add his other friends and share memories. i havent seen him for like 4 yrs now so like ???

TBT is a forum. Forums are social media. You call social media rubbish.

Noiru thinks TBT is rubbish confirmed.

No I hate social media xD I have a fb but it's used on rare occasions

You must hate TBT since TBT is social media.

 

[Aryxia]

I use Snapchat & Facebook, with the latter only being for school related things & event planning

Most people just don't think of or count forums as social media since it lacks a lot of the trash you tend to get on other popular social media.


I personally don't class them as the same thing since I enjoy forums, yet I want to gouge my eyes out if I spend longer than 2 minutes reading redundant facebook updates I don't care about by people I don't particularly care about.


Yes, surprisingly I'm fun at parties.

why add people on facebook you dont care about???

 

[Jake]

the ones i use most are twitter, tumblr and facebook.
twitter is just to post random ****, fb is just to talk to friends, i stopped using it for everything else over a year ago, and tumblr is just to reblog stuff, i dont full in depth blog or post anything

i also have youtube (i just watch vids tho) and instagram (which i barely use), and snapchat (same as instagram) and skype (only talk to 2/3 ppl on there tho)

 

[Nuclear Bingo]

I think I might be slightly addicted to Facebook. I go to twitter out of habit but there is usually nothing good on it

 

[Shimmer]

I have a Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr. I use Tumblr the most but I just use it for cute and funny pictures. I don't use Facebook hardly at all and I only keep it because I can keep contact with certain events or people. Twitter I use sometimes but not as often as I used to.

I use Skype the most but I don't count that as social media. I use Skype and texting to keep in contact with friends.

Why not?



If the only thing I ever really use on the site is the chat box to ask friends "do you want to xxx?", does it really matter if I accept pretty much any friend request?

True, but if you accept every person's friend request, then you're going to have to deal with every person's post, updates, etc.

But can't you change the settings so you only get updates from certain people? I think there is an extension (Social Fixer) or maybe several that can help you dictate what shows up on your news feed that gets posted by other people. Might be worth checking out.

I read stuff on Tumblr all the time, but I don't actually have an account of my own; I'm not sure if that counts. I prefer forums like these for talking to people online. If I'm talking to IRL friends, I call them or use Skype.
