I think polls might be broken/down at the moment.

(Yeah looks like polls are broken. And the poll plugin is turned off. Although Iā€™ve no idea if that plugin is the one we use. Iā€™m just pretending I know what Iā€™m talking about.)

You missed out Reddit. :slight_smile:

Thereā€™s likely a few others too. I wonā€™t mention Myspace or Livejournal though. :stuck_out_tongue:

I left out myspace as I thoughr it was dead and live journal I should have remembered as I used it for a long time lol. Will add them though just in case the poll ever starts working thanks :wink:

Heh! I think they might be dead. I was just joking. Apparently only GRRM still uses livejournal nowadays.

From the list, Youtube is the only one I use but mostly just to listen to music so I donā€™t think you would call it ā€œsocialā€. And I have a twitter but only rarely use it.

I do often engage in my university own social media and other similar groups like coursera. Beyond that I have skype that I sometimes use, not sure if it counts though.

Facebook all the time, just for funny pics and stuff, and Reddit ALL the time, though I mostly just read and never comment except on r/BuildAPC or something.

YouTube I just use my account to make video lists of stuff to watch later. LinkedIn I update whenever Iā€™m looking for a new job.

I donā€™t use Google+ Circles at all. Or Twitter.

Tumblr. It has sucked me into its depths and Iā€™m pretty sure if my blog ever got deleted due to some weird accident, Iā€™d have no idea how to go on with my life.
I donā€™t really use Facebook anymore, mostly because Iā€™m not the kind of person who has a strong need to stay connected to old friends.
And I tried Twitter, but I just couldnā€™t get into it - I need more than 140 characters to put my thoughts into words.

(Also, to those using Reddit: What is it like? Whenever I hear about Reddit, it seems like the people there are not the nicest. Like, Gamergaters and MRAs everywhere.)

Goodreads. You probably think Iā€™m joking, but I seriously use Goodreads more than any other social media site. I havenā€™t had a Facebook, Google+ or Twitter account for over three years, and I donā€™t miss them at all. The only account I miss a little is Tumblr, but I just bookmarked my favorite blogs, so itā€™s no big loss, just a little harder to track stuff. Iā€™m pretty much a social media hermit these days, and I find that Iā€™m usually happier because of it. I definitely feel safer. Iā€™ve never gotten a single rape or death threat on Goodreads, just people asking me for book recommendations. I even ended up meeting an amazing friend there that Iā€™ve IMā€™d with every day for months because we both liked the same kinds of books.

Reddit is huge. Itā€™s also thousands upon thousands of different communities all about different things. Each community has its own moderators and rules. So thereā€™s bad places in Reddit and good places.

I mostly hung around in the communities that helped people find things, because it was fun. I liked finding books people had forgotten the titles of, or knowing an old tv show, or remembering a computer game, or being able to use my google fu to find things out that had bothered people forever.

I also liked the android gaming community, unfortunately they changed the rules to it, so people couldnā€™t make posts asking for game suggestions, so I lost interest.

Ahhh, so there are multiple communities that donā€™t necessarily have to overlap rather than one big community? I admit, Redditā€™s workings are a mystery to me - but thanks for clearing that up!

Toss up between Reddit and Facebook, for me, probably, with YouTube a close second.

Iā€™m surprised we donā€™t have more people from Tumblr. I used it rabidly for a few weeks and then got bored.

@gkkiller Stay on topic, please.

Me? Well, Iā€™ve got a youtube account, but thatā€™s mainly for music. Other than that I think this forum is the thing that comes closest to being some sort of social media :sweat_smile:

I use it rabidly still but I do have periods where my queue will reach zero for a couple days and then the next couple of days be at 150.

But for me Facebook, Tumblr, Youtube, and Pinterest. Though I hardly use facebook, itā€™s more of just to have one really.

Youtube.

And nothing else.

Reddit and facebook, for different things. I have a few games I follow on reddit, and I moderate a writing sub over there, which incidentally is where my own writing goes.

Does using the WoW forums count a long time ago? :dragon:
