People are stronger in a group than individually. As cool as focus on yourself is; it kinda gets in the way when big systemic problems need to be solved. ^^"

While it's a true point, herd mentality and group think can be equally harmful.

It's way more prevalent than one would think. Reddit actively encourages this mindset. You take a category of specific people and give them the ability to downvote and hide opinions they don't want to see. From a psychological perspective (I was even a student of psychology at one point) it's a fascinating website.

I prefer to be alone most of the times but I do like having some people to be friends with, that's why i'm here!

There's a reason I don't use any other social media =P

Same. Most of them are filled with trash-users, who use indecent words regularly in their posts and it doesn't feels good to join in that kind of environment. Places like this Forum is nice place to be part of, because it feels fun and nice rather than the bad-language effect on sites like Reddit, Facebook, etc.

I am better off doing my things on my own than joining those places.


And in my opinion, Forums feels good to be in Forum Services platform, rather than making forum on Reddit, Facebook, Discord, etc. although I don't know the craze why forums are hosted on them just because they have dedicated software downloadable from Store. But the Official Forums of reputed names are hosted on Forum Services only, not on those mentioned Social Sites.

It took me 10 years just to feel home on PC. That should tell you everything about my relationship with Social Media and other places. It's why you'll only find me here. ^^"

I'm technically on another forum as well, but it's pretty much dead so I don't even check it all that much anymore.

this is the only social media thing i'm on, i'm too nervous to be anywhere else. although I am on the PC staff discord now, but i don't know if that counts as it's still the same people :P

Same for me as well; I could be only found here. Although I am not on Discord like Lavender !! Plus I have no intentions to be going on Discord. Once I saw Discord in my friend's mobile, and it looked quite terrible to me, and I wonder why it is chosen forums, even though other alternatives exists, like Matrix-based Element:

Element | Secure collaboration and messaging

Element is a Matrix-based end-to-end encrypted messenger and secure collaboration app. It’s decentralised for digital sovereign self-hosting, or through a hosting service such as Element Matrix Services. Element operates on the open Matrix network to provide interoperability and easy connections.

I visit discord on occasion, but live texting can become a source of anxiety for me.

I was never good with group chats. I've tried out things like TeamSpeak and Skype in the past. And it never worked out. I have a Discord account, as well. But I could never really get into it, either.

That's exactly why I'm not on the main PC discord server, live texting makes me quite anxious.

I'll forever avoid programs that have microphone chat like Discord =P
