    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.

    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 newer social sites such as here, Cohost, Inkblot (more art focused), and Masto.

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

    At this point other than Lemmy I mainly just use instagram.

    I do have Facebook to keep up with a few family members still, but a lot of them are on IG as well. But I keep my IG a lot smaller cause I post more casual everyday stuff on there, weed stuff and whatnot lol.

    I still have twitter cause I’ve been on there on a bunch of accounts for like 15 years at this point and it’s hard to let go, but I really don’t tweet much anymore, just go on and retweet some stuff and then leave. Elon has completely ruined it, and I feel like no one sees my stuff anymore, or maybe they don’t go on there anymore either.

    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 never 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.

    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 use Instagram a lot to keep up with friends. I use Facebook to keep up with things in the local area (I could do without this but I like knowing what’s going on and old people on Facebook are too funny.)

    I stopped using Twitter about 5 years ago. What an absolute waste of time that website it.
