Mastodon. I’ve cut out instagram, twitter, reddit and bereal because bla bla bla generic fediverse enthusiast rant
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.
(1) use regularly: instagram, unfortunately
(2) stopped using: Reddit
I’ve cut out most “for profit” social media. Main reason being is that the UX on a lot of clients for the Fediverse are miles ahead and aren’t bloated with crap.
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.
Yeah it sucks Facebook marketplace has become the dominant way to sell things online. I used to use Craigslist all the time but the only thing there anymore are scams. I deleted my Facebook in 2017 but ended up coming back with a fake account for marketplace but I feel gross about it.
Yeah it feels super icky. Especially since my fake Facebook keeps recommending friends I know in real life. And not just local people, but people all the way across the state. How does it know that???
Kbin.
I cut out reddit.
Didn’t really use anything else.
I have an instagram account with 0 posts because it’s the only way to find out what’s going on in town.
I got lemmy to replace Reddit but I find myself going back to check on the local subreddit since they have no interest yet in moving here. When Narwall finally stops working I imagine I’ll stop using Reddit altogether.
That’s exactly why I still have a Facebook and am seriously considering reviving my 0 post Instagram
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 use Snapchat and LinkedIn (and I’m still not sure exactly why).
Stopped using Facebook, twitter and Reddit completely.
My life got so much better when I ditched Facebook, I was stuck in a daily routine of just scrolling through ads and stupid posts on ridiculous groups, and though I felt it made me in a bad mood constantly, I just continued.
It was such a relief to leave it for good.
Leaving Reddit was a lot harder, since I actually enjoyed many of the subs, but Lemmy is growing fast and it’s already feeling quite good scrolling through my front page.
These sites really key in in people’s addictive tendencies
I refuse to use Facebook, and Twitter is becoming more and discouraging
I have a twitter and an instagram - with about 5 posts on each. Ditched Facebook about 4 years ago when I realised it’s just all toxic boomers on there now. Ditched reddit when they killed 3rd party apps. So Lemmy, and a LinkedIn I only really check for work.
Ironically, I work for a small company and I handle all the social media. LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
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 use Instagram pretty regularly, have dropped facebook altogether and will delete my reddit account on Tuesday.
Some people call whatsapp a social media app, which I don’t agree to. But yeah I’m using that a lot.
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.
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.
