Social Media
 
Which social media platforms do you use most, if any? What do you mostly use them for? If you don't use them, why? Do you prefer following people you know IRL, online or both?

Additionally, another reason I wanted to make this thread - if you didn't already know, PokéCommunity is on several social media platforms, and I was wondering what sort of things you'd like to see from us, what would make you interested in following if you aren't already. Some feedback on how we're doing and what we could do to improve and make you more interested would be really appreciated! <3

Facebook and reddit mainly

strangerhypno March 29th, 2018 6:57 AM

None, I hate social media. Reddit, technically, but it's more of a forum now although it's being getting pretty popular and overall the overall quality is declining. Too much circlejerking and the default frontpage subs have become normie infested. Overall reddit is becoming on the level of social media in terms of low quality, thoughtless posts with lots of circlejerk. Ask a dumb question on Askreddit and you'll get gilded and 10000k plus upvotes for nothing. It's really stupid. I only go on certain subs now but even they are at risk of becoming low effort echochambers.

Facebook, but I make only about 5 posts per year. I use it frequently, but almost exclusively to read.

The chat system is a great way to keep in contact with certain people, so I use that.

Then I have Twitter which I almost never touch.

Facebook, Instagram, Reddit, Tumblr, Snapchat, Twitter, and uhhhhhhh apparently this thing called Vero but I'm not really sure what it is all about ?_?

I have a Facebook account, but it's getting boring and full of spam and annoying chain mail-esque minion memes and "facts" that I basically only use it for Messenger and nothing else. I also have a Twitter account that I'm fairly active with, and a Reddit account that I use every now and again.

TY March 29th, 2018 9:53 PM

I have facebook, never use it as i find it garbage really

Also have Twitter where i meme around and post spam

Digital Waffle March 30th, 2018 4:33 PM

I have a facebook account but it's mostly for university reasons, a lot goes on within closed groups. I myself, hardly ever post anything.

I sometimes check on reddit if you can call that a social media but it's mostly to check on a few choice subs.

Does youtube/soundcloud count as social media? If yes, I chose "Other".

It's 2018, and there still isn't any typical social media site that I'd rather use. All of them look unappealing :/

I found social media to be a good source of information from people who produce content. Only reason why I have a Twitter account is just because of that.

thunderlight April 24th, 2018 1:20 AM

Just my quick thought about Social Media, there is a new one called Vero which is growing popular recently. I mean, really it spread so quickly among my friends and classmates, now the whole school noticed it! Before I signed up for an account I couldn't understand why people were crazy about it. Great graphic design, no ads, only friends' posts, the only problem may be the load speed, but I'm fine with it. Thinking of abandoning Facebook and migrating here for good.

Apparently Youtube counts as social media (even though you can just watch videos), but if that's the case, that is all I use.

I honestly have no use or interest in things like Facebook or especially Twitter. And I talk with all my friends either through email, phone, or even texting. Those platforms are unneeded for my life.

polymorphism April 25th, 2018 3:38 PM

I go through phases but for the most part mostly just Twitter. Facebook has become a zestball of no-thank-you for years and I'd just rather not touch it with a 10-foot pole.

Percy April 25th, 2018 11:58 PM

ah stuck in an endless loop of twitter, facebook, and reddit. honestly, i just use facebook to keep up with family and such who refuses to let go of it >.>

Ninetales April 28th, 2018 1:06 PM

Instagram and Snapchat. Both I use on a regular basis, Snapchat in particular. I have quite a few streaks to keep (upwards of 70).

Facebook is a little outdated for me, I made a Facebook account 4 years ago and I've maybe used it twice. It's not a platform that a lot of people my age use, I feel like it's more for 30-50 year olds.

Twitter, again, I have. However, I don't use it. I'll check it occasionally perhaps once a week but that's about it.

Another social media app that I use is VSCO, it's similar to instagram, but more aesthetic and rather than liking photos, you can republish or favourite them. I'm much more active on it compared to Instagram. (I post on Instagram once every 2-3 months, despite checking it daily.)

colours April 29th, 2018 8:38 PM

Twitter, really. There's no other social media that really grabs my attention.

Mawa May 4th, 2018 12:39 PM

I have Instagram (not that long ago), Facebook (creeping and candy crush) and Snapchat (800+ streak)

Cool_Porygon May 4th, 2018 6:20 PM

Just facebook for me. I have no interest in the others. FB is just a way to keep in contact with people.

pastelspectre May 5th, 2018 1:52 PM

i use a lot of facebook, tumblr, twitter, lots and lots of youtube. also instagram. its mostly just those four though. i have snapchat but i almost never use it, really. facebook and tumblr i use daily, facebook to communicate with online friends and tumblr i mostly just use for the jse community tbh. and twitter i do use but not as often, i mostly use it just to keep up with the youtubers i watch, same with instagram. and we all know what i use youtube for, lol.

Sothis May 6th, 2018 6:46 PM

I have a Facebook account so the Cambridge Analytica stalkers can Zucc all the personal info to sell me crap. Also have a Twitter account mostly used to look at interesting / funny tweets and people venting personal issues. If Reddit counts then I mainly lurk threads there related to my interests.

Resolve May 8th, 2018 9:18 AM

None (anymore). Just looking at those somehow makes me feel miserable. Might consider using Twitter again.

Cherrim May 19th, 2018 8:11 PM

I overuse Twitter, but other than that, not a lot. I browse Tumblr once or twice a day, but so few of my friends use it that I get through my dashboard within a few minutes and thus don't spend much time browsing anymore. I use Reddit a lot too, but I don't know that I'd quite call it a social media website yet--although it's certainly trying to be one with its upcoming changes.

Otherwise I'm pretty good. I have a Facebook and Instagram and all that, but I just never use them because all the friends I care to keep up with are on Twitter and post anything important there anyway.

Janp May 26th, 2018 9:24 AM

I have Facebook and Twitter, but don't use any of them that much. Only way I use Facebook is to chat with my friends. And I use Twitter mainly to stalk Marin.

I also had Instagram with my friend, but it got hacked and all the photos got deleted, so I don't use it anymore.
Lastly, I have reddit that I check almost everyday and sometimes even post something to some subreddits.

blue May 26th, 2018 11:30 AM

twitter and snapchat religiously
