Do you use Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, TikTok etc.??
If so how much?
Does it hurt or help you? (mental health, social life, keeping in touch, etc.)

Very little outside of this forum. I recently reopened a Facebook account but I only used it to message a few people that I lost contact with. I don’t really use it otherwise. I have friended no one on it.

I use facebook and instagram, maybe an hour every day. I very rarely post youtube videos.
I need it for news intake and to stay in touch with some friends.

This forum and Reddit are as far as I go.
I’m happy with that.

And I’ll openly say, I’ve had more meaningful conversations with relative strangers here, than people I’ve known on Facebook who I also know in real life.
Many. I’d rather call you all as friends, over other platforms.

I use instagram to admire beautiful women, beautiful paintings, surfing. I use facebook to stay in touch with family. I dont post anything about myself specifically because I dont have social needs. I do like this community a lot. It is already one of the very few communication channels I feel truly confortable to share.

I use only facebook 
i am too lost for the other newer social apps… i dont get the point of tik tok at all for example, but maybe one day I’ll need it, who knows…
I cant live for now without my fb… i dont see anymore my friends irl, i keep in touch with them on fb.
It also helps me to get some world news and i learn some things on the well being too in fact 
Before to go to sleep, i watch some funnier stuff there too, thats it.

No only ever had facebook. I will have an account for a matter of weeks - and somehow it triggers me and i get pissed off, so schedule a deletion. Then give it a year, and dumb old me thinks its clever to open another one.
Just dont get on with it. It just screams FAKE to me when i see the horseshit, people i know post - and of course i open my gob, then get paranoid over the responses i recieve.
Im probably best staying off it.

I have zero social medias that involve my real name and real identity. So, no Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc.
I only use anonymous social media, such as this forum, Tumblr, and Imgur. I’m just a random username among other random usernames.
Facebook was toxic, honestly. I’m glad I permanently deleted mine, like 6 years ago. Although, I hardly used it for the 3 years or so before that. I’ve never had Instagram or Twitter or anything else like that.
I keep in touch with family by calling them up and going to lunch. Stuff like that.
I only keep in touch with one childhood friend. We hang out here and there. I don’t want to keep in touch with anybody else and I don’t want past friends or past partners to be able to just look me up on social media. No thank you.

Maybe, i mean its mostly 1 to 1 messaging but i think the app has “stories” and statuses so technically has social media features
