If you count FR as “social media” yes I use it a good bit — more read than post.

I have a silent FB account with almost no personal info on it to talk with my siblings.

Once in a blue moon I Disqus or tweet as FD2003.

If it all went away tomorrow I would miss FR and some similar sites but that is it. When I am not on my desktop/laptop I don’t use ANY social media. My tablet is for games like Angry Birds with no other people and my PDA is for work email and phone calls.

I don’t IM on any medium.

Social media is very retarded. But the Luddite approach to the world is very lame. I kinda enjoy having all the knowledge of mankind in my hand in a box the size of a deck of playing cards.

The wife of one of my friends is one of those “everyone put your phones in the middle of the table” types. And I’m more like, “be more interesting than my phone”.

FR.

And Twitter to read the President's tweets, and one other person's. I used to access the President's tweets directly through a browser shortcut. However, I would always get a recommendation to add BO, HRC, and CNN or NYT to my feed -- no kidding. In my own account I blocked them, and now I get Fox, a Trump kid, and Sarah Sanders. I NEVER got them when using Twitter anonymously. What bias!!

I should set up LinkedIn for professional reasons, but have put it off for years.
