I rarely use any but I am a 50's child. very rarely FB, a little less rarely Instagram & once or twice a week I'll use Twitter but only because my Brother sends me stuff on it.

The only social media site I really enjoy (if you can even class it as that) is Imgur. The offbeat humour and memes help get me through days at work. Occasionally I’ll look at Reddit too.
Other than that, I have zero interest in social media. I’m an unsociable git most of the time, and don’t really care for the carefully curated visions of perfect family life that people use Facebook to project.
None. FriendFace back in the early days to connect with long lost friends etc. The rest is a toxic poopstorm of uselessness that is dragging society down the drain. Recently deleted (Prperly) my FB account. Dont forget that WhatsApp is also FB and not as secure as claimed.
Totally given up on Twitter and Facebook and trying to find ways to an alternative to You Tube. I am finding social Media especially in Twitter and Facebook extremely destructive and totally divisive.
Discord I guess if that counts, otherwise nothing.
None.
LinkedIn once or twice per year...
None.
I briefly (about half an hour, which was enough) had a Facebook account, but not from my home IP and not on my own machine, and certainly not in my name (or age, location, etc). Then closed the account.
Never had Twitter, Instwotsit, ..... blah blah blah.
I watch some Youtube videos, but only as a guest. Never had an account. Don't use Google. And so on.
I use Signal but only about half a dozen people have that, mostly relatives. And HEXUS, of course but I don't class that as social media. I belong, kinda, to a few other forums but pop in sporadically at most. Nothing else, unless you include Mk.1 telephone but, I'm modern .... it'd DECT cordless.
A lesson learned from PeterB about dignity in adversity, so Peter, In Memorium, "Onwards and Upwards".
Facebook. I only share stuff on there like pics of my C64 etc and mainly use it to keep in touch with family
I also have an Insta account and upload same retro game pics and dog pics on that one
Reddit, if that counts, and while i have a facebook/instagram account, I don't really open the apps more than once every couple of weeks.
I guess I could say instagram but only to follow family/share with family. Most of my other accounts are idle.
Surprised to see people call Youtube social media? I just use it to watch interesting videos on physics, 3d modelling/printing, computer games etc.
Same with Imgur, I wasn’t sure whether to even mention it in my post above as not sure if it’s really classed as social media. I’m just there for the memes.
I guess there’s a big difference between stuff like YT, Reddit & Imgur, and the ‘attention seeking’ (as I call them) true social media sites like Facebook, Instagram, etc. (“I’m going to post a photo of myself so everyone can tell me how amazing I look”). Yawn.
None, besides forums like this. No accounts on any of the normal ones. But have rumble/parler though I just watch vids on rumble really, or direct on the sites of stuff blocked at youtube. We cut the cord years ago (across all houses), and just change channels here and there (hallmark before, frndly now). So much free, no point in paying cable tv. Roku, Tubi, Plex, etc will give it all to you anyway.
