What do you guys use? Tumblr, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, are there others? Which do you prefer?

I use facebook these days to keep on top of topical interests like the craft beer community etc. My insta is a mix of selfies, beer reviews, and the occasional architecture pics (feel free to follow me - caitaintdead on there as well). I had a Tumblr account and got into it but I somehow lost my password and no longer have the email address I used so can't get back in (grrrrrr). I had a twitter account for a hot second but don't 'get' the appeal of it.

Youse guys?
 
I love twitter. I would be lost without it.

I really do love that banner... and I have a feeling this comment isn't going to age well
Yeah, use all that you mentioned but I'm mostly on Twitter and Instagram (and here). I hate Facebook. Seriously. One day I hope to ruin Facebook for everyone.
 
I'm on Instagram all the time, and twitter a lot too. All the others are pretty useless.
 
Facebook mostly. Twitter more these days. I’m on tumblr as of recently but I’m still trying to figure it out. Idk how to gif stuff so all I do is like and share and comment. I think it’s pretty though!

I have a Snapchat I never use and I can’t remember the last time I logged onto my insta account.
 
I use Facebook, but only to keep up with certain friends, and to receive event invitations.
The novelty of Twitter wore off on me. I seldom use it.
Instagram is one I use more often now. It is my creative outlet for spontaneous things.
Pinterest I use a lot actually, for fashion and related things, Buffy, etc.
Reddit I visit A LOT. I follow Buffy and all my other favorite tv shows, as well as city forums, sports and more. I actively post things there.
Tumblr I use to follow a lot of television related things. I don't post much though.
I use Quora for topics like science and philosophy, and whenever I need an answer quickly that I can't find online.
 
I deactivated my facebook - the advertising and pack mentalities did my head in. Not to mention the fake news and endless mummy blogs/businesses asking me to buy their juice and glitter nails. I re-activate when I need to find something or for gishwhes. Out of sight, out of mind, I dont need that drain on the brain.

I deleted twitter too - too much Trump stuff on there.

Tumblr ... I am scared of Tumblr. The trans autistic otherkin have worse anger issues than me.

I only have Insta for the rabbits, and only follow rabbits or net friends. They should all make instas for their dogs just for me.

I spend more time on forums now - no adverts, more humour, less grubby faced baby pictures, self obsessed selfies, filters and agro PC bullcrap. I find it a more level environment for me. Even the mental health forums are more sane than FB these days.
 
I try to avoid Facebook, but keep it around because it's a handy contact list basically. And a great way to remember birthdays! Also my sis refuses to chat through anything but Facebook messenger.

I use Instagram a lot, but it's just pictures of my dog. People tease me about it but whatever, crazy dog lady and proud, the account is named for the freaking dog. What do you expect? Unfollowing is free I hear 😛
I have recently gotten into Twitter, but mostly because I follow a lot of true crime podcasts on there, so I rarely post anything. I don't have a lot of things to say I suppose. Unless I can post it with a dog picture.
 
Never used Facebook, the horror stories put me off. I love Twitter, the shortness of the remarks appeals to me and makes me work when I post something (though I don't post much) Instagram is os, but I often go days without checking and then there's too much to catch up on.
 
I'm still not sold on the idea of Twitter. I can see that there is a lot of good to it, but the bad still outweighs it for me. Its like Facebook but on a extreme level. Also you get far more abuse and negativity on it than on FB. Plus if I went on it, it would be mind field.

I've recently started on Letterbox and that's a cool one for someone who likes to make movie lists like me. Linkedin is the other big one I want to get into.
 
LinkedIn is the only one I am on and that is primarily to keep up with business contacts, which I do only on rare occasions. I never liked the idea of Facebook and Twitter seems superficial and since I am on five forums daily (the others may take a total of a half hour to get through), I really don't want to add to the time I spend here (which is several hours daily).
 
Nowadays, I only use Facebook and Instagram. The former to keep up with birthdays and the latter to occasionally post some pictures of my collection or latest obsession.
I used to be addicted to twitter. I loved spamming everyone with my artwork and videos. I was also kinda going through an emo fase (shudders). I changed my settings to private and rarely look back.
 
I rarely use Facebook these days, because it's no fun anymore. Plus, they now ban you for the silliest reasons. Instagram is okay, but Twitter is pretty lame. Too many people saying things to get likes. I WON'T agree with someone just because they're famous, no way.

I really, really miss the old MySpace. 🙁

I wondered if someone was going to bring up MySpace. Is it actually gone or has it just fallen into disuse?
