No, a social media platform too far for me.

I use different ones for different applications.

Facebook was always the default.
Instagram is useful for sharing pictures of the kid with grandparents and friends.
Twitter is useful for stalking William Storey.
WhatsApp is for groups and organising.
LinkedIn is for promoting work stuff.

Etc

No Instagram here either. Or Twitter for that matter.

I joined Instagram this year as I found it a good place for ideas/inspiration around BBQ/smoking activities and was good for sharing my efforts. I have Twitter but that's for viewing not spewing.

I have never had a Facebook account and can't see that changing.

I'm only on Twitter just now

I closed down my social media a wee while ago when I was having a bad time and Twitter is the only one I've gone back to.

Only use Facebook for groups now.
I stopped using Twitter for years because I wasn't really sure what I wanted it to be for and my feed became a mess of things I mostly didn't care about. I've done a cull recently so now only following sixteen people which is much better but still not in the habit of looking at it.
I use Instagram for seeing what close friends are up to, following amateur sports clubs, following YouTube / car / watch people, and admiring good looking women. Definitely it's starting to get too much though and I can see it going the same way as Twitter for me. I only post a couple of times per year myself.

I opened an Instagram account to help a friend who’s launching a business to discover I already had an account - I guess through Facebook. I must have missed a No Thanks click in the past and one was created.

It now seems to be trying to get me to buy more expensive camera kit, an eBike or a puppy. I won’t be using it.

I have FaceBook which is for wishing my cousins Happy Birthday. I’ve never really posted anything personal.

I have TickTok for the occasional giggles… Cameron Geller can be quite funny. Again, I don’t post

WhatsApp for family chats and Video Calling.

I don’t have Twitter nor ever will

I use all social media as an extension of my ability to irritate people, although I can't use twitter since I was banned for suggesting a fervent anti-E-cig 'scientist' may have had inappropriate relationships with dogs. And then calling some of his white knighters cunts.

so I mainly just use FaceyB to keep in touch with people I can't normally reach locally. I'm not too fussed by instagram (I accidentally created an account ages ago) and as far as I'm aware, TikTok is Vine 2.0 effectively, isn't it?

I can’t stand Facebook, have an account but rarely bother looking at it, once every couple of months 🤷🏻‍♂️

Don’t really get Twitter so only ever open it if I’m clicking on a link on here.

Had Instagram since 2013, have made 400 posts in those 8 years apparently, mainly just a quick and easy way to scroll through and look at pics of cars, don’t bother with personal stuff.

I don’t get people being snobs about different platforms, if you don’t like it or don’t get it, don’t use it, you don’t have to make a big thing about it 😂
