I technically do have TT and Twitter bc I made a login when they were new and decided they weren't for me pretty much immediately. So I don't follow anyone and have never posted anything. My IG almost forced me to make a Threads but it didn't appeal to me so I just have my business name.
I use FB to keep up with family and friends and it's a happy place for me, anyone I don't politically agree with either keeps that off fb or else I put them on hide (most of us have that one uncle, lol).
IG is a creative place. I follow fellow local vendors and artists, some celebrities, some friends and family. Lots of art, nature, cats, nails. I don't spend a whole lot of time there though.

No I don't. I have IG and FB. And Snapchat because my kids prefer messaging on there.

I might have an account but I don’t use it. The music is so obnoxious and there’s no way to control it. I use Facebook and IG which is my happy place for golden retriever puppy videos, and artistic topics of all kinds.

Yes. Don’t know when the last time I looked at it, though. Dumped Twitter at the point it changed to X.
On FB for a couple of groups and for messenger. I do enjoy Instagram.

Yep... I (mainly my kids) have posted a few videos.. all dog ones..
I used to be on it all the time.. such a time sucker... now it is just here and there. Everything I watch is all fluff...
I use FB a lot.. I have an Instagram but never use it really. No Twitter.

Yes and I freaking love it. I've abandoned all other SM for it I hate FB and stopped using it not too long after COVID. It made me really start disliking some of my ultra conservative relatives and I decided I'd rather not know anymore how horrible and hypocritical they are when they think the crap they post can't be seen by others. I never really got into Instagram, just followed a my family members but even then the stress to like and comment on everything became too much. Tiktok is my happy medium. I'm totally private, don't post anything but follow a ton of great content creators and have learned so frikin much. I get all my recipes from there, I learn new cooking techniques, cleaning and organizing inspo. Decorating, health, women's menopausal issues, and lots of fun funny talented people, singers, artists, musicians. Remember Stephanie Howell, the old Garden Girl who was married to a military guy with 4 little girls? She's on Tiktok reviewing books all the time and I love her content. She's excellent. If they ban TikTok I'll be super upset about it. It's the best! I LOVE your answer... TT is my happy place too!!! And it's also been a world of information for stuff to do in NYC when we go.

I also love love love following the NYC tiktoker who stops fashionably well dressed people, mostly older rich women and asks about what they are wearing and the history of their jewelry etc. Madison Ave or something I think it's called. Fabulousness!

Yes I have a TikTok account. I use it to find recipes and plant care tips for my indoor plants. I get fed a lot of mom content and I have pretty much watched the entire Eras tour from people’s clips.
I keep telling TikTok to not share my contacts and to not share my account but I do keep having people I know pop up on my FYP.

So, TT users - even if you are “private” can people find you via your email address or is that an option to turn off? If I join TT I want to be totally anonymous. I don’t want people I know in real life to fine me, or for me to be suggested to them, if you know what I mean. Can others still see your profile? no they can't see you or find you if you go private. I get suggestions of people who have me in their contact list and they themselves are public but I don't follow anyone I know. I don't want that intrusion lol.

Nope and never had a Twitter/X account either. I have enough online distractions as it is and have a well balanced group of sources for current news. no I don’t have either one also. My nephew who is in Homeland security and has pretty high clearance has always said to never get a TikTok account.

No Twitter. No Tik Tok. I abandoned my Instagram several years ago. I have Facebook, but don't post on it anymore. I mostly use it now to find events to attend. I do have a Reddit account, but never post. I just read it when I am on lunch.

No Tic Tock, no Facebook, and no X (formally known as twitter. 😆) accounts. I do have an Instagram which I have never posted to, just needed an account to follow a friend who was traveling. And I still spend too much time online. Hahaha.

I used to think Facebook was bad until I tried Tik Tok. I have an account and tried a couple of videos but got very few views. I really hated how I couldn't find anything and had to hear the continuous stream of videos as I was searching for the content I was interested in. I lasted about a week and haven't looked at it since.

TikTok - yes. I don't post videos, but I do spend a lot (too much) of time over there. I love the short form of the videos. Although the recent 50 parts series from ReesaTeesa was super intriguing (IYKYK)!
Twitter/X - No.
Instagram - Yes, but mostly for crafting and haven't posted in months.
Facebook - Yes, but I rarely post there. Mostly for following a handful of friends and family, plus a couple of Groups.
No Snap.

No. I cannot stand the short sped up videos and from what my friends show me that's the primary type of content. I don't have any interest in watching people dance or dissect true crime stories in 30 second intervals while apply their make up. The whole thing just annoys me.

I have facebook / Instagram / Tiktok but have never posted a tiktok video and very rarely use it.
I was talking to my cousin once about social media and he said he had goodreads...which made me laugh. I send him messages on goodreads all the time now. LOL

I have them "all" and have had all of them for many years or in case of newer ones like TT, whenever they became popular (probably about 4-5 years on TT) - I am on TT daily. I like and save daily; I post rarely---mostly just travel or dog videos once in a while (nothing with me in them). I get a lot of my news from there. This is BY FAR my favorite since Covid.
- I am on Facebook daily, and like people's posts daily and sometimes respond. I post something once or twice a week and have since 2008 (used to post more). I have family members and some friends who say they enjoy my updates--probably more when my kids were younger and more funny LOL, but they like that I post about what we are up to. Might annoy some people.
- My SILs and I use FB IM every day to chat. Not sure why we do that instead of texting...just started years ago.
- I check out 2Peas daily. I post the reading thread every week. I respond to something probably an average of 3 times a week.
- I have been on IG since its inception. I check in occasionally and like things maybe once a week or less. I only post if my FB post automatically transfers it there as well.
- I used to post to Twitter for my classroom/work. I do not since X/Musk. I was never super big into it for any other purposes.
- I check out Goodreads at least a couple of times a week and like
- Pinterest is hit or miss. Depends on what I am doing.
- I have Threads but don't go there
- I do check out Reddit occasionally.
- Have Snapchat and don't currently use it.
- Also, always on some sort of Sports Engine/TeamSnap, TeamReach depending on the activity season

I have TicTok, Facebook, and I deleted Twitter when Elon bought it. And although I made these accounts, I have never posted anything to any of them. They are for reading/watching only.
I was the first in my family and friends to get a home computer. This was a few years before they were available in commercial stores. I worked with a guy that repaired and serviced computers for businesses and together we built a computer for me. I needed it to install my court reporting software to begin making my personal dictionary and then translate the notes I took. It was several years before anyone I knew bought a computer and by that time, I was on my 3rd or 4th computer.
Because I was known for having a bit of computer experience well before anyone else, everyone assumed that I would be jumping on every social media platform that popped up. I didn’t. I was eventually talked into Facebook by a coworker who was moving away after just having her first child. We were close and I wanted to watch the baby growing up. She told me she posted to Facebook almost daily and if I wanted to see the baby, I should get an account. I did so, but reluctantly. That ended up growing into adding just a few friends, family, and coworkers who all fell in love with Facebook posting. I know I am in the extreme minority, but I just don’t like posting and putting up photos of my life. I have also never taken a single selfie. I guess I am super private. Or more accurately, super boring. I would have nothing of interest to post on Facebook. This site is the only site that I frequent and interact with people.

I have Facebook, Instagram (2 accounts), X, Snapchat, and TikTok. I never go on Snapchat anymore unless something big is going on somewhere in the world, and I want to see it from a citizens POV, and I don't go on TikTok much. What can I say, I do enjoy my social media.
