Am I the only one that uses TikTok? It's that and Lemmy for me, nothing else. Oh, and infrequently reddit for the subreddit created for the city I live in
Was going to say none, but people are listing YouTube as social media? Ok that then. But is YouTube really social media? IMO it's too hard to have a two way conversation on YouTube for it to be considered social media.
Yeah, I think there is a weird line with YouTube (or Twitch or whatever else that is similar). It has special capabilities (comments and live chat), but it is not conducive to real discourse. The live chats are usually too fast to have any meaningful convos on the things that matter.
If we consider comments social media then many media places with article comment sections would be “social media”.
Almost zero. Quit Facebook several years ago. Never used Twitter or X. Once in a blue moon I check LinkedIn or Nextdoor. I do a lot of texting and group texting with my friends. It's way more fun. A few old friends still prefer email threads, which I'm fine with, too.
LinkedIn. Needed to find a job in my domain. Also people often talk about their posts. It makes people really happy when I like a post they talked about to me. When I don’t have a job daily.
Tweeter for some very specific events. Something like two weeks a year
Hacker news when I do not have anything to do at work. I say to myself that it is to stay up to date and sometimes I can find nice blogs. I would say something like once a month.
None. Very occasionally reddit if I'm looking for help with something specific. I keep a Facebook account for advertising events on behalf of an organization but never use it otherwise. Twitter never appealed, and I didn't pursue Mastodon very hard because that format just doesn't really grab me. I hope the Fediverse keeps going strong and doesn't end up swallowed by corporations.
I used to use Reddit pretty actively, but I haven't logged into my account since June 2023. I also used Twitter occasionally, but completely stopped when Elon the dickhead took it over. But I was already aware of the Fediverse and had a Mastodon account before the Elon takeover. I somehow never discovered Lemmy before the Reddit API crisis, even though I was actively looking for federated Reddit alternatives around the same time I started caring about privacy, digital freedom and using more open source software and decentralized services.
Bluesky I use a fair amount, nothing else comes close to that and lemmy though. I guess if you count just watching but never liking or commenting on videos, YouTube.
I like to do drive by gawkings of Nextdoor. I live in southern CA so people get absolutely, hilariously deranged about some things. Coyotes and bike lanes are probably going to cause the downfall of civilization, based on the fuss about them.
Mostly just Lemmy these days. I have a Sharkey account that I use to follow some accounts on the Mastodon side of the Fediverse. I'm not sure how much you'd count Discord as a social media platform, but I also still maintain a presence there, though a lot less often these days.
Besides Lemmy, I have a Mastodon account. I'm not very active, though. I'm also on BlueSky, but because most of the post where uninteresting to me I uninstalled the app months ago and hadn't logged in since. And I'm exploring Pixelfed, but my experience hasn't been so good.
Yes, that's exactly it: the discoverability. I joined a small to medium server, and I thought that Pixelfed's search would be like the one in Mastodon: search for a hashtag and get results from all of the other federated servers, but no. The search function doesn't seem to work with hashtags, so subscribing to one is a pain.
And the available apps are not very good. And the official one hasn't been released yet.
The only reason I still have a Facebook account is because of marketplace. I wonder how feasible it'd be to run some form of decentralized alternative to Facebook marketplace.
Just a friend Discord server and a private IG account I use exclusively to follow a few fashion subcultures I like which don't have a presence in the US; best way to get inspiration and find out when there're new releases... definitely have fallen victim to targeted ads, but that's how I want my ads- actually relevant.
My Mastodon feed is too busy. I don't really want to cull tags or groups I follow, but enough stuff goes by that I miss info from my actual friends. Bluesky has the opposite problem. I only visit it a couple times a week because I can catch up pretty quick.
Pretty much just this. I use Snapchat because the kids I work with don't text, and if I need to coordinate a call out they will only answer there. But that's the extent of it.
I have other accounts, but they are all more or less inactive.
Just Reddit. Its where basically all the content that matters to me is, as none of those communities have migrated over to Lemmy (or anywhere else, as best as I can tell) so I'm stuck with Reddit as my primary social media.
Nothing particularly. But I refuse to use a site run by the guy who runs Fandom: a horrible, ad-ridden mess that gets basic facts wrong and snuffs out other, more respectable wikis.
