I post and view photography on Insta, Facebook & WhatsApp, also in lots of groups for photography and wild camping.
I’m pretty proactive at periodically interacting with a large number of friends on Facebook and I’ll try and do all the birthdays. I think this comes from travelling so much and missing so much face-to-face |

No - its a toxic insipid tool where they bombard you with algorithmic subliminal marketing and the fabric of sentient society gets dissolved in favour of a homogeneous collective consciousness. Nowadays one of the biggest insults someone can receive is to be ‘blocked on insta!!’ I prefer my connections real. I use Fab because of the high brow discussions and tits!!  |

I mainly use tiktok these days, I spend most of that time sending cat videos to Rubik, I used to post videos on there but became bored when hardly any views, it was fun doing them but for little "reward" despite having about 6000 followers at one point.
I do have Facebook but it's full of ads this days or pages I have zero interest in, have insta too but pop on a couple of times a week, if that these days.
I do like to post pictures on Facebook as my family like to see them and stuff. |

Going back to before pics of what people were having for dinner, fb used to be a far better place and somewhere with far more human interactions, all be it virtually and back then, I (mr) used it and interacted a lot more.
Then came the dinner pics and then the advertising and infiltrated by the younger generations and more about algorithms, what they want you to see etc etc.
I've used it as a business tool myself previously though  and a promotional tool, but not so much now my job has changed and in turn tired of the marketing on it.
It is still useful for the niche groups on it though and information purposes.
So like everything, it's changed, not so much for the better but it still serves a purpose.
I like it here now  |

I have FB but I don't post or comment on it. I use it mostly for following customers and might put up pics if I'm on a hiking trip but nothing else.
I don't use any other media and never had a Twitter account. |

This is the only soc media I use. fbook changed to something quite unhealthy so haven't bothered with that for years - It makes you wonder if any of the angst or ideas seen on here is carried from other platforms. |

With all social media, I interact with what I want to see more of and don't get caught up in the bots who are rage-farming and it works for me.
I'm on FB, LinkedIn and twitter, but the only time I ever post is on FB when something happens that I think might give my mates a laugh. |

I have FB which hasn't been updated in years and has notifications turned off. My online footprint is virtually nil.
So unless you class Fab as a form of social media, I don't use any. |
