What popular social media sites do you not have accounts on?

I technically have an instagram account but I only created it to get more entries in an online contest. I've never posted anything. Or even had the app running for more than about 10 seconds.

Despite it being advertised in my signature, I haven't actually checked my Twitter account in months.

I only have a LinkedIn page because it was a requirement from the job centre the last time I was unemployed.

To be honest I never got on board with the social media hype. I'm not so shallow and pathetic I need to devote every nanosecond of my life to chasing likes from strangers for a momentary high, I don't see why I should share details of my life to people who will seek to exploit that knowledge at any opportunity. I'm only on Facebook because it's an easy way to track people long distance.

My Twitter started as a throw-away account just to download free music tracks from Krewella. But I ended up keeping it, and use it daily now. Facebook keeps me roped in, because that's how I keep in touch with people in Messenger, and the groups I'm in are lit. So those are the main two I use.

I'm not really a part of any social media, but I do have accounts on facebook and twitter (just don't use them). I made the twitter account when I was a part of some content site as a staff member long ago. I don't recall the reasoning behind making the facebook account. no idea what the credentials are for either site anymore. I still get emails from both sites though (especially twitter).

I use whatsapp.

Maybe there is something better.

Facebook: I get customers there.

Twitter: Required for an art gallery.

Instagram: Same as twitter.

Reddit: Was on r/CRTGaming and it was pretty fun talking/seeing other's users CRT'S.

GBAtemp: With the amount of memes and fucking stupid underage members, it might as well be that Costello is Zuckerberg in disguise an this is another kind of Facebook.

Then I am on some online galleries posting shit and whatnot...

Twitter and Ticktock

E1ite007 · Jan 8, 2021

Just until last month I didn't have a Reddit account. I don't have a TikTok account neither I have had the app installed onto my phone (not even when it was called Musical.ly); although I do have an Snapchat account I don't use the app since 6 years ago. Just until last year's May I never had a Telegram account.
I do use Facebook and WhatsApp for school and work mostly these days... and also memes, I have a Twitter account but fucking Twitter (or at least my feed) has slowly turned into a porn page that I don't use it as often, I use Instagram to see cats and other cute animals to be honest, I use YouTube to watch and make content, and I think that's it. I'm no social guy to be honest, not in social webs and not so much in real life 'cause... yeah, pandemics.

Alexander1970 · Jan 8, 2021

GMAIL.....made an Account over 10 Years ago and "can not" change it (work - related or maybe I am too lazy....).

GBAtemp....yes,that is the only Social Media Thing I use for Internet Things.

My last interactions with those clowns was mercifully many years ago.

Remember sitting there the first morning wondering why they were very prominently making me aware of their patrolling gorillas (I am not a small guy and can clench a fist, would have been a hard fight though and they had more than one) and then the tiny little woman I was there to see did absolutely everything she could to rattle or aggravate me whilst still technically doing her job, rinse and repeat until I got bored and quit (I think in this case I was being yelled at for not taking a cleaning job a county over, would have been 2 and half hours by car each way, and without anything resembling public transport to get there, shift starting at o dark thirty). I was there as it was a nice way to fund a course I wanted to do and took it as good sport (their mental and word games were rank amateur compared to what I was prepped for and throw myself into willingly) as I got her close to busting a blood vessel while my pulse rate never even twitched. However that report implicating them in no small number of suicides and seeing the fun and games they put some of the head injury people I did some charity stuff for a while back... that report can only have been the tip of the iceberg. That said the most amusing part for me was initially I went there to get some help maybe checking over my CV, getting a list of recruiters and whatnot -- unless you are signed on then they don't care and actively turned me away.

I can only imagine what would have ensued if they had conditionally tried to get me on such things. In some ways I probably should -- I am told much recruitment in the somewhat professional world takes place on there (read recruiters can only be bothered to scroll it like social media marketing means they play on twitter all day), and no account on such things acts as a negative in their world.

It is also probably the system I have the least experience with -- sometimes a twitter/parler feed is useful as basically RSS or timetable annoucements, and the amount of things on restaurants I have had to extract from facebook is... yeah. I even once landed on facebook from a normal search. I have also had to set up accounts for many people if building out a web presence for them so I am at least familiar with the types of images and the setup panels of those. Linkedin... a website I built for someone once wanted a link to it so I went there for that.

Twitter - Probably because I'm so contented with facebook that I never really bothered with twitter.
Snapchat - Not interested.
Instagram - Not interested.
Tiktok - I'm too old for it.

I use the Chrome extension "uBlock Origin", and it's Element Zapper is excellent at permanently blocking those, as well as the click-blocking overlay under it. So you can browse the site like normal.

I use Twitter as my main news source, because I get sources from all directions. So you're getting unbiased news from all over the world. I also have a Facebook for shit-posting memes and keeping in touch with friends. I never saw the point of SnapChat, Instagram, or TikTok... beyond being an online attention-whore.

i guess you could use Twitter for that, as for Facebook, yeah, shitposting is pretty good, as long as you make sure you stay only inside groups, some favorites of mine would be Doomposting, Youtube Basuraposting, Gonzaposting and Progreposteo

Facebook and Snapchat

Twitter and Facebook. Don't like 'em.

BlazeMasterBM · Jan 16, 2021

I have Instagram but with the Facebook monopoly, censorship, and anti-trust stuff, I want to delete it. And I have Snapchat, but only to do video calls with a friend of mine

Ricken · Jan 16, 2021

I actively use Snapchat, Instagram, and Discord
I check just about everything else on occasion but I can't say I really use anything else

AkiraKurusu · Jan 16, 2021

I only have Facebook and Twitter; don't care for anything else, and TikTok is Chinese spyware garbage too. Fuck Communism infecting democratic republics.

And I only really use Facebook for coordinating with uni group assignment members, and for chatting with people in my friend's board game day group. Twitter...that used to be my main, several years ago, but hasn't been for a while.
Maybe I should delete my Twitter or something...word limits are awful.

I of course used to have a G+ account as well. Did I ever use it? Yes - to be able to comment on actual YouTube videos, back when it was forced in as a bloody requirement. Google, you fuckin' wankers.

Nobody_Important4u · Jan 17, 2021

Social media is garbage for dumb people, here's a rundown:

Facebook - I had to make an account for something school related, and I hated it, after I was done I deleted that stupid account

Twitter - barely used it and it was made on temporal email so when I forgot password it died completely

Reddit - I wanted to ask something on r/topofmyjostick (or whatever it is called) I didn't get my answer and I abandoned it, but I think it's still somewhere out there, I should delete it probably

Gbatemp is a forum (and I don't use any other forums anymore even), I don't count discord as social media.

To me social media is one of the roots of evil of those days, if you are intelligent you don't use them unless you are forced by some facility or something.

rvtr · Jan 29, 2021

I used to have Facebook, but I never used it and I got so many emails that I deleted it. I don't have TikTok, (I don't understand why anyone likes it) Snapchat, and Instagram. (I don't actually know what those are lol)
