I deleted my Facebook account, so my account with 6 friends (and at least one isn't actually a friend) only exists so I can have pages.

I don't really interact with YouTube comments. It's a shithole.

Not sure SMS or calling my mum counts. It very much annoys me when people ask to WhatsApp me, just use a strawberry floating text. I don't want to use an always-on networker computer in my pocket to send 5 words and I very much don't want to use one that I can't also use on a computer for no reason, except when the smartphone is on. That is strawberry floating bollocks. You may as well just give corporate Internet direct access to your brain.

You can use it now without yourbsmartphone being on I think

I don't really, like, fully use any social media besides GRcade.

I have Discord and WhatsApp, but I use them as messaging services, not as social media. I read/watch Twitter and YouTube, but I don't post anything.

I do sometimes chat when GRcade people are streaming on Twitch. I see that aspect as an extension of this community, but I guess maybe it technically counts as using it as social media.

Are you socialising? Via media? That's it, you're a social media user. Enjoy your brain worms.

site, I am afraid to say that, yes, all your social are belong to us. The systems have got you.

I thought just a little bit of social media would be OK, but I couldn't control it. Now I spend 23 hours a day posting racist Minions memes to Facebook. Social media: not even once.

Those are rookie numbers!

If you play online Dark Souls is social media

Facebook: I only got this because my mate nagged me years ago to get it and I caved after he nagged me for about a year. Now I only have it because I have two friends who refuse to get WhatsApp, so its the only way I can keep in touch with the pair of them.

Twitter: I hardly use this now. I think I got it so I could post up my cross stitch and switch stuff.

Whatsapp: Probably my most used. Though I personally wouldn't class it as social media.

Tiktok: fun to scroll for memes to send to my mates. I don't think I'll ever use it for anything else.

Discord: Used to send memes from tiktok and chat to the MK crew.

And of course GRcade.

Whatsapp and Insta. I only recently got the insta. I post but I don't know what I'm doing.

Threads looks like fun.

I always play it offline. I'm a hardcore Souls player and don't want any tips 8-) .

GR is proving to be pretty popular. I'm wondering if Gecko could soon receive a multi-million dollar buyout offer :o .

I'd thought you'd omitted GR there, Squinty. But then I realised that you hadn't.

Yes.
