Absolute shite, but infinitely better than mainstream media.

I have never liked it but watched a programme that showed how Facebook was used by Isis. I have closed my inactive account.

Instagram is the best as it is mostly trivial. If I did Twitter I would have been locked up for murder long ago.It’s all shite.
Never understood the point of Twitter, or Instagram.
Facebook is mostly populated by narcissists and this place is full of cunts.

I agree, self obsessed maybe butShould check the Facebook page on here as similar views, I used to be a big advocate few years ago but slowly I saw the danger in social media, absolute cesspit of fake news, morons and moron sharing fake news, plus the whole self obsessed people on there.
I'll always read anything by Musty and Wurzel.

As bad as mainstream media is (and it really is!), that’s definitely not true at all. Social media is a cesspit of human [lack-of] intelligence. As bad as mainstream media has been throughout Covid, at least it hasn’t spread the shit that those with a medical degree from the University of Facebook have.Absolute shite, but infinitely better than mainstream media.

BBC have started calling internet users "netizens" in their news articles. Nonsense.
If u like a bit of soft porn... tiktok is the place to be.
You should've seen Tumblr a few years ago.

I've stopped going on Twitter. My mental health is so much better as a result. I still spend too much time on here and online in general thought.
If any of you want a tip to try and wean yourself off social media. Download duolingo. When you want to go on social media, force yourself to do a lesson before you do. It snaps me out of it and I'm very good in another language now. Means I'm spending that time productively rather than wasting it.

Like you I downloaded memrise to improve my frnech and elevate to give my brain some exercise. 10 minute lessons and feel good after.
Facebook/Twitter have me huge anxiety and I've felt so much better since fucking them off.
Anyone that want me has my phone number. They don't need a messaging app for it.

One of my hobbies is landscape photography, so I use Instagram for that.
I need Facebook for my day job, but if I didn’t, I’d delete it. I believe it is a force for bad, and have caused a global mental health crisis, and fuelled the political divisions and conspiracy loons we have today.
Twitter is a dumpster fire these days. I have several thousand followers, mainly from around 10 years ago when I was more active. I haven’t posted in over a year.
