I joined LinkedIn something like 15 years ago, because I thought it might be helpful to find a new job. It never was. And I never considered it any where close to 'social'. Yet it has been haunting me for many years. I really should terminate that account!
Will they leave me if I do? Or are they like most other 'Stop mailing me!' which really means 'Sell my mail address to twelve other companies with their ads about beautiful women and warnings about my antivirus license being expired?

It used to be more professional, but it's become very Facebook-y, at least for me. I've had recruiters contact me through the platform, so I think it does help people to find other jobs. I also use it to research prospective employers, e.g. have a look at their profile, people who work there, etc.
It also helped me track down a friend from school that wasn't on Facebook, so that was nice.

It's 99% Facebook-y these days, but I found both the old job and this one (which so far I love) thanks to LinkedIn, so it still has its merits.

Indeed ...

|
|
|
|
Yep, this is my only social media.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

Well, if you count Code Project, I'd love to add GitHub as well

Because I'm an unsociable cuss and they're all a pile of caca.

All it does is cause trouble.
Aw, poop, there I go again.

Yep, missing the option "i just don't engage" or better yet (lol) "screw'em"
|

Agreed.

I am greatly offended that you used the word "poop".
I am now going to spend millions of dollars funding a world wide campaign to cancel you and the word "poop".

LinkedIn I just maintain the presence in case I need to look for a job.
Reddit - mostly rant about basketball with like-minded anonymous fans.
|
|
|
|
|
I use different sub-reddits but that's more or less it for me too.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I would have thought it is just a messaging/call application.
That would be like calling my landline social media because I can use it to talk to people. Or email, because I can send words.
Maybe there are some non-obvious features I don't know about?

I always looked at social media as a place where people post comments, then either delete the comments or get banned for said comments.

If whatsapp on the list, then discord could have been added.
Many individuals/groups use WhatsApp groups or discord channels to communicate out to fans in smaller controlled groups
|
|

Discord could fit anyway, I use it only to discuss with some writers and their fan groups. LitRPG and Wuxia/Xianxia authors are usually available on discord, much more easily than on other social media.
