Don't have any myself, have yet to make my first tweet or post how my day is going on facebook.
Never felt the need, there are a variety of reasons why, some which would veer into politics, but I'd say the primary reason is it would be a colossal waste of time.

People that have family living out of state I can see using a resource like that to keep in touch, and maybe people that use if for business.
Seems to me that most folks are there to bicker and thump their chests or maybe just have too much time on their hands, and have never seen that as a viable endeavor for me.
 
I do not, and will not subscribe to either of those sites
 
Ok I really really thought there was maybe 8-10 sites-non of which I even belong to or wish to belong to.
But like a cat the curiosity got the best of me so I Googled it and there seems to be 95 sites that are on the "Need to Know" basis?
I really don't think so.
But old Wiki gives the breakdown and what the site focus is about.

Hell no to all.
 
I do not belong to,or,join anything.

GOD Bless

While it might be fun or interesting in theory to use something like Facebook to keep in touch with distant family and friends, IMO, the negatives outweigh the positives and I will not get an account.

When Facebook first started, our state gov't required by executive order, all state workers to provide their facebook passwords so they - and their contacts, could be more easily monitored. I ignored the executive order, refused to sign an acknowledgement that I read, understood or agreed with it, and nothing ever happened. Thirty years later I met a guy who told me that his job was to monitor our emails and social media. Big brother at work...
 
No Twitter, but have a FB account just to connect with old school and work and military buddies.

Belong to several detecting forums, about as social as I get!
 
I'm on another 30 day ban on FB for comment I made about Biden and Harris being on Time cover. LOL.....
 
I don't even see the point in using them. If I want to communicate with friends/family I use messengers. All they do is try to shove whatever trend is popular down your throat IMO.
 
If you ignore social media during election times you will lose a lot of potential voters. Look at the Walk Away Campaign page, it has over 507,000 members, vast majority are former democrats who got fed up with Democrat party and left it and became Republican or Independent.

The Election is OVER! Let's move forward as the UNITED States like we did 4 years ago!
 
Social media accounts=sheeple sites.

It is not over by a long shot,do not count your chickens before the eggs hatch...REGARDLESS of what MSM tells you.
 
Of course the election is over. On Janualry 20th, Biden will be the 46th president of our USA. I don't know, nor care who MSM is and they don't tell me squat. I eat eggs. I don't hatch them and I certianly don't count chickens..

Again, don't let your emotions get the better of you. I'm a lifelong registered Republican.

Gettin' kinda political here...

I guess you do not raise your own then.

It is not the 20th yet,is there a possibility something might change,or is it written in stone.I control my emotions,they do not control me.
 
THIS IS... my "social media".

When MySpace first came out I had account that I abandoned... never to use it again.

Pre that... It was the IRC days... Of which I was an "Operator"... same as a moderator here.

For business you sorta have to be "plugged in" to the bigger media's... short of that... I could care less what strangers are doing or saying every day.

And care even more less to share everything... don't have the will or drive to "keep up" with it... or the "look at me, look at me" need.

Already not enough hours in the day as it is. heh
