    This is a question I just have to ask, it's for fun, but I am also curious, how many of you still use popular social media platforms such Facebook, Instagram, Threads and X? I hear they are still popular, but I don't believe it anymore.

    I had a Farcebook account for 4 days before deleting it. Reddit also.

    Me neither. Not interested and to be perfectly honest I am totally pissed with people sprouting bullshit that they have read on social media, have not researched and then regurgitated like it was the absolute truth!

    I'm on Facebook only. I used Reddit in the past for a short while. The others are of no interest to me.

    I'm on Facebook and Reddit. Reddit is such a hoot lol. I have an Instagram and Snapchat, but don't use it until someone I know messages me there. WhatsApp for international friends. Oh, and there is a cool penpal site out there called Interpals I'm on. I have people I write handwritten letters to in Poland, Australia, Mississippi, and Texas. It's a lot of fun.

    I've never joined another social media site.
    Why would I?

    Sprouting sounds appropriate -- as in the 1951 movie "The Day of the Triffids"

    I understand how many people feel about popular social media sites, those of you who don't like them or don't use them, all I'm going to say....is good for you! I think you all are awesome for turning away from them, in my personal opinion, they are bad news! I used Facebook for many years, but I'm no longer on any of those sites, quite frankly because they proved to me, that I don't belong on them, message received, message accepted! lol. I do find Reddit to be both interesting and fun. I will suggest Substack Notes, which I think is good for posting thoughts, feelings, and information. I'm actually trying to build alternatives to social networks Facebook, Instagram, and Threads, what I'm doing is more creative, and making social media fun again. My social network alternatives are more about visuals, and entertainment, which is what I believe social media is supposed to be like. Anyways, I was just curious to see if anyone would answer this question, and how many people would be willing to share. I keep thinking someone needs to take polls about social media, I think someone needs the feedback on them.
