Apparently 'Social Media' is a 'Thing'.
A teenager I know well has recently informed me of this.
How much 'Social Media' are you- err- doing? How much do you do? Of 'it'? Social Media. Media du Social. The medium of the social.

Fuck all. This is my social media.
Well, that's not true. I check in on the various shops we use here via Facebook, but I watch and don't interact. Apart from that, nowt but forums. Old school me. Except when I'm in New school. Er, sometimes even teaching kids about social media. Ha!

I'm on the FB, Twitter and Instagram, mostly. It's pretty essential for the old art malarky in this day and age. I post a lot less than I used to though, I think this year has kinda burned me on how much I was relying on it all to have some vague semblance of human contact.

I'm on Twitter, but limit that these days (enforced by a screen time password on my phone that only my daughter knows) as it's really not good for the old mental health. I took a break to avoid Mandalorian spoilers last weekend, which lasted three days as I didn't easily find time to watch it, and it felt great!
Also have an Instagram account, but I just post very occasional art there and mostly use it to keep up with family.

Twitter, IG and FB - I fucking loathe FB and am on it infrequently. If it wasn't needed for ToyFu and TFN I'd close the account.

I have given up tagging or contacting Shockprowl on FB. I'm on FB..? I opened an account years ago to try to find an old friend from long ago. Not used it since. I didn't find my friend.

No, my only social media is-
THE HUB.
If indeed The Hub is social media?

I will never use Twitter again: it's completely unsafe and toxic. I don't do Instagram because it's blocks of texts without spelling, punctuation or using paragraphs!!!
I am on FB but am very careful. My account is locked, I never fill in the 'about me' section, don't use my full name and never post about where I work or specify where I live. I don't discuss my personal life much. I never discuss how I am feeling, political opinions, etc. Mostly used for fun stuff, ie photographs of nature, animals, etc. I share fun stuff, not serious things. I rarely post in comments sections. I ignore attention seeking behaviour. I only 'friend' people I know reasonably well in real life or have had meaningful interaction with online. FB is useful for keeping in touch with people and for following fun stuff. Anyone talks about Covid, they get snoozed for 30 days. If someone is being an arse, they get deleted. I have no interest in amassing x number of followers, etc. My general rule of thumb is: only 'friend' someone I'd be happy to meet in a pub for a chat over a drink (alcoholic or hot chocolate).
The Hub is my main social media channel.
