Used to be on a few gardening, homesteading, environmental & personal growth forums. I don't care for FB. Nowadays, SF here is the only social medium I participate in. It's not addictive, it's stimulating, friendly & fun.
Are you addicted to social media?

No, I'm not addicted to social media. But people seem to use the word "addicted" in regards to social media like it means spending a lot of time on it. I'm not spending a lot of time on social media at the moment, but I'd be OK if I did in the future. It's good to have interests. There are worse things, depending on how the time is spent.
I used to spend a lot of time on forums, less so now.
I have a Facebook but have to force myself to check it every few months. I have an Instagram account that I don't frequent as much as would be helpful. I only use it for healing accounts that I found helpful. I haven't gone on X for many months, but I was only using it to follow a celebrity.

Well - addicted? Yes I sure am. #notsorry - I get a lot of pleasure from it.
When I open my Internet browser I get 5 tabs for 4 forums and Facebook. Looking at my "Most Used" there are 6 other forums. I also have accounts for Instagram and 'X' - but only use those when someone points me at something interesting/useful. Are forums Social Media? Well - you get to sign up anonymously and are put in contact with many people who do the same - to be social. That to me sure is Social Media. At least on Facebook I am who I say I am.
