What Social Media platform do you use the most?

[Pepper]

Here mostly, but go to news forums to catch up. Not that cable news isn't always in the background, because unfortunately it is. I come here to get away from most news!

 

[Remy]

YouTube. Not sure if that one counts.

I haven't posted anything on Facebook in ages. Literally years.

I have an Instagram account to follow a some accounts. Rarely on Twitter.

I go to Reddit for some forums and Ravelry, for knit and crochet.

 

[RadishRose]

Here.
I have a Facebook account but I don't socialize on it.
Another forum where I just lurk and rarely make a post.

 

[Roadwarrior]

Here, closed my FB account in 2016. Never any others, except an active Linux forum.

 

[Pappy]

Facebook and Senior forum is just about all I use.

In order: Facebook, Instagram, a forum for other people with cochlear implants; another hearing forum related to the brand of implant I wear; a forum from an old magazine and here. Limited posts on all the above depending on my mood.

Social media is a time sink At best. At worst it is like having sewage pumped into your home.
This site is one of the few that actually provides useful information at times.

 

[squatting dog]

Here because it feels a lot like family.

At other times when I'm feeling feisty, to spare my SF friends.....

1) Youtube
2) Senior Forums
3) Facebook (occasionally to check birthdays)
4) A car forum for the particular brand I own. Lots of posts about issues and resolutions.

I have no desire to join Twitter or TikTok.

[JustBonee]

SF, and also a local sports board because I know many people there.
I also find Twitter entertaining.

I gave up on Facebook a couple years ago.

 

[msincogneato]

Facebook to stay more easily connected to far away friends and family. That is the only one I use anymore.

 

[cheryl]

I'm interested in knowing where seniors spend most of their social media time.

I use Facebook. I don't post much but there are groups and pages I follow.

My self esteem rose several notches once I gave up Facebook!

Senior Forums is such an eclectic mix, it's what I like about the place. Why I have highlighted your post Pepper is because, when it comes to news, I am the opposite in that I don't keep up to date on current affairs. The news I find, mostly depressing, so I don't bother with it.

The rise of social networking online means that people no longer have an expectation of privacy, according to Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg. That quotation resonated with me, of course we post trivial day to day details here, but the wording of Zuckerberg's remarks implies that we shouldn't expect privacy, something I find very uncomfortable.

 

[Feelslikefar]

SF, a Jazz forum and a private site connected with the Dementia Study I'm in.
'Keeps me off the streets', as they say.

 

[Mitch86]

I'm 88 and spend most of my waking time in the games, Civilization VI from Steam.com and Chess from Chess.com. Since I don't work on a job anymore, those games have become my "job."

 

[Furryanimal]

Several different forums...Fellow Seniors member Wren and I are writing a story on one!
Use You Tube...lots of live sport streamed there plus Anna from Ukraine(war vlogs)and The Whitewicks.
Twitter and Facebook to keep up with sports results.
And these probably don't count as Social Media but several word game apps.

 

[Repondering]

Facebook; A Lonely Life; Suicide Forum (I don't need it anymore but I'm still part of the community).
And this one, intermittently.
