Stopped using Facebook because it’s a toxic dumping ground of content that seems targeted at me, with the intent of making me more miserable than usual. Everyone I was friends with stopped posting interesting or funny things, and now it’s just baby pics or politics. No thanks.

Mastodon. I’ve cut out instagram, twitter, reddit and bereal because bla bla bla generic fediverse enthusiast rant

I’ve cut out most “for profit” social media. Main reason being is that the UX on a lot of clients for the Fediverse are miles ahead and aren’t bloated with crap.

(1) use regularly: instagram, unfortunately

(2) stopped using: Reddit

I have a twitter and an instagram - with about 5 posts on each. Ditched Facebook about 4 years ago when I realised it’s just all toxic boomers on there now. Ditched reddit when they killed 3rd party apps. So Lemmy, and a LinkedIn I only really check for work.

Ironically, I work for a small company and I handle all the social media. LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

Kbin.

I cut out reddit.

Didn’t really use anything else.

I have an instagram account with 0 posts because it’s the only way to find out what’s going on in town.

I got lemmy to replace Reddit but I find myself going back to check on the local subreddit since they have no interest yet in moving here. When Narwall finally stops working I imagine I’ll stop using Reddit altogether.

I try not to be chronically online. I’ve never used Instagram, Snapchat, Twitter, or BeReal. I briefly used TikTok but deleted it when I felt my brain melting.

Currently, I have a fake Facebook account I use to access marketplace (it’s the best way to get expensive baby stuff for cheap). On mobile I use Lemmy, on my desktop I pop into reddit. I also love my gossip discord for mindless entertainment.

I’m on Matrix and GoToSocial (both selfhosted).

I also made an alt on kbin which is probably where I’ll probably end up migrating the “serious” discussion to, so this account will really end up as my shitposting account just like it did back at Reddit.

I also have an account on Tildes under a different name and from a long time ago.

All of these are different enough that I end up checking on all of them quite regularly.

Oh and I have a Discord too but it just feels too overwhelming how fast most guilds (they’re not servers and I will die on this hill) move so I really use it to check for updates on shit like Sync’s Lemmy port instead of posting memes or whatever.

And YouTube, which is unescapeable. I’ve tried.

I refuse to use Facebook, and Twitter is becoming more and discouraging

I still used instagram because I’m basically forced to. It’s the only platform that (almost) all my IRL friends are on. It’s a terrible platform for friends though. All people ever do now is send me stupid fucking reels. Honestly my hot take is that facebook was never as bas as Instagram currently is, but people will leave.

I use LinkedIn for professional stuff and to stay in touch with work colleagues past and present. I use Facebook to talk to my immediate family. I use Discord to talk to my kids. Once in a while, I’ll get nostalgic and check Slashdot. Does YouTube count as social media? I guess it does.

I’ll stick around on reddit to watch the ship sink, that’s about it really. I used to be on Snapchat but found it to be juvenile. Instagram used to be nice then they ruined it with the horrible feed logic. I refuse to even touch TikTok.

Stopped Facebook years ago, stopped Reddit because of the API changes, and now trying to stop Twitter except for maybe posting art.

I’m mostly on Tumblr now, but I’m also trying some alternative social sites such as here, Cohost, Inkblot (which is more art focused), and Masto.
