What social media is our age group using now?

[-]

brattybabyc@reddit

Reddit is all I have the patience for, and some days…

[-]

VisiblePlatform6704@reddit

It's so sad they broke Facebook. I used to like seeing what my pals from other countries were up to. I made several of friend in my 20s/30s because I lived in different parts of the world.

Now everything is 10 second video crap from "influencers" I dont care about

[-]

Lensgoggler@reddit

Same. It's one of the reasons I still have Facebook and Insta - I have no other means of contact with my overseas friends and acquiantances. I'm mostly on Reddit.

[-]

Same reasons for me - my foreign friends. Just hit up my Balkan bud I hadn’t talked to in yrs and his old # was no good. Took a minute but he responded on fb, which he also rarely uses, updated me with his number, and we reconnected. So I’ll keep fb for that. Never really used insta and don’t care to.

Reddit is great but you have to unsubscribe from every default account and then find your niche communities. Default Reddit is trash but when you curate your feed and subs, it’s no different than old school message boards.

I still will check default subs like r/news, r/worldnews, r/movies, r/television, etc., however…

Pro-Tip: I don’t join any such default subs otherwise my feed would be insufferable. Instead, I add shortcuts to the Reddit bookmark bar for quick access. Keeps my feed full of niche interests and free from noise.

[-]

nudave@reddit

Hey great news. They’re in the process of breaking Reddit, too!

Hidden account history just as LLMs are getting good will be the death of this platform.

[-]

ASingleThreadofGold@reddit

Yup, that was a huge mistake and will eventually drive me off of this platform too.

[-]

96dpi@reddit

Not trying to argue with you but it's way worse than that. It's mostly rage bait, AI rage bait, ads after every 2-3 posts, posts that are unsponsored ads, and don't even get me started on the comments.

[-]

tryingisbetter@reddit

And I am getting so sick of the bots on this site too. It's so bad.

nuggetbailey@reddit

Just reddit now, I walked away from fb and Instagram several months ago and I don't miss it at all. The rage bait, ai, suggested crap and ads sent me over the edge on both.

[-]

crematoryfire@reddit

I do Reddit and Discord. Everything else seems so performative/annoying.

[-]

tijuanagolds@reddit

Never got he hang of Discord. And I'm a major PC gamer since Doom.

why do yall make it so complicated for yourselves? its just a normal chat program like every other chat program. there's voice rooms and text rooms divided by subject. it's not hard

Boring_Pace5158@reddit

I’m praying for the revival of MySpace and Friendster. Maybe a Geocities comeback

[-]

Imaginary-Bunch-460@reddit

I made a GeoCities reference today and got blank stares back from nearly everyone. No one believed that websites had a visitor counter at the bottom or a request to “sign our guestbook”.

Onboarding this brand as a customer led me to their site. View it on a computer for the full experience. You won't be sorry. Gave me angel fire vibes but well done.

TiaHatesSocials@reddit

I deleted it all and Reddit is the only one left. But that too is going away eventually. It’s taking way too much time and it’s just brain rot. Like real brain rot. When was the last time u learned something here and felt good about spending ur time on it?

[-]

BigFatBlackCat@reddit

The more Reddit and Meta don’t care about bots and AI, the less I care about social media.

I could justify scrolling before but now that my feeds are 70% complete and total bullshit between AI, bots and influencers, I just don’t want to engage. So I’ve been focusing on getting away from screens as much as possible.

I only check Facebook to see if anyone died.

[-]

Hoodiebug22@reddit

Reddit. Because all the rest are sucking the life out of us. Social media is the reason so many people are so anxious and insecure now. It sells false narratives and misinformation more than anything.

[-]

thejamhole@reddit

Reddit, Twitter, and Instagram. But mostly reddit.

[-]

DarthFuzzzy@reddit

I'm on MySpace and aol

[-]

superhex12345@reddit

Just Reddit now. Probably checking out here too. Kind of over social media.

[-]

Coraline1599@reddit

I just bought a fountain pen and some paper. I’m going to write my friends some letters and mail them.

I am nit really expecting anyone to write me back, but that’s ok

That’s where I am at with social media.

[-]

monty08@reddit

I took calligraphy class in high school. fountain pens are a SKILL!

(its not easy ... often messy, you will have ink on your hands for days during the learning stages)

[-]

EatsCrackers@reddit

Huh, I never found fountain pens to be any messier. Maybe with a calligraphy nib it’s different, but bog standard fine tip? Nah.

[-]

PetuniaPicklePepper@reddit

We did calligraphy in elementary school and me and my artistic autistic BFF were obsessed.

[-]

TheGillos@reddit

You went back, back, back. Before Gen-X, Boomer, Silent, Greatests, Hell, even the LOST generation had communications like the telephone, telegraph, and radio!

You're more Amish than Xennial.

[-]

Coraline1599@reddit

Don’t worry, I still have to use a computer for work, Teams, Excel, the AIs, etc. those are not leaving my life any time soon.

I just realized I want computers as productivity tools, not a full lifestyle.

There is no tracking, no ads, no algorithms, no data being collected from what I write being used to sell me stuff. Which is nice to have that mental space for a bit of time every day.

Even if it isn’t as fast, or productive, or cool, I think it still serves where my nervous system is at these days.

[-]

InfamousCantaloupe38@reddit

That's a very healthy outlook imo, on to the Slow movement. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slow_movement_(culture)

[-]

this_knee@reddit

The snail mail has tracking … and ads.
It’s just not as apparent.

Remember “junk mail.” Those are … say it with me … ads.

And the usps allows you to sign up to have the picture snap shots they take of your, and everyone’s, mail, forwarded over to you too.

It’s allllll tracked.

[-]

stamata_tomata@reddit

The mail might be tracked but the contents of the letter are not, doubly so if you use Sir James Jays "sympathetic stain" invisible ink formula. If the ruffians manage to decipher ones personal correspondence well then it's time to affix bayonets to ones musket and cry tally ho and go to town

[-]

Twnc@reddit

He’s not really after communicating. It’s more about the pleasure of writing.

[-]

matchalover@reddit

I started sending postcards to my friends every month, I am now getting monthly postcards from them too. I am obsessed with fountain pens.

[-]

EricRShelton@reddit

I got into fountain pens and nice stationery back when deployments to Afghanistan were still a thing. It just seemed so much more personal to send my wife than an email or text. (Data speeds for video chat were still iffy back then.) It’s a wonderful hobby!

What pen/pens do you have, and would you like any more? I’m going to Japan in a couple days for a short business trip and they have great line of “disposable” fountain pens I can’t find in the U.S. anymore. Platinum Preppy, iirc. I’m gonna grab some for myself and I’ll gladly grab a couple extra if you want.

[-]

Dunnersstunner@reddit

I've been writing people typewritten letters lately. They've all been thrilled to get them.

[-]

blamberr@reddit

Reddit?

[-]

whamburglar@reddit

I'd be very touched and happy getting a letter like that from someone! I think your friends would love the thought and effort.

[-]

ChiefSampson@reddit

Man I would be ecstatic if I received a hand written letter in the mail. Can't remember the last time that happened. It's a fantastic idea!

[-]

Funkopedia@reddit

Thank you on behalf of the post office.

Also check out Writing on the Wall: Social Media—The First 2,000 Years by Tom Standage. It's about older forms of communication that served the same function as modern social media. The similarities are quite eerie.

[-]

bridymurphy@reddit

I use to write letters to my grandmother before she passed. She loved them and we kept up to date with the comings and going’s.

[-]

lakebistcho@reddit

Hell yeah! My kind of social media.

[-]

Peanut083@reddit

Pretty much just Reddit these days. The only reason I still have Facebook at all is because I have a couple of community groups I’m involved with that share info through a Facebook page. But I pretty much go on Facebook and do a search specifically for the group, read any updates, then close the app.

I also occasionally use Facebook Messenger for DMs with certain people and groups.

[-]

JessBx05@reddit

I use Reddit and Facebook. FB mainly cause all my friends joined when it first came to Australia and we still use it for its original intent - keeping in touch with each other. I do get annoyed with the algorithms and incessant ads though.

[-]

Classic_Breadfruit18@reddit

Substack. Unfortunately there is not platform I can actually see what I want from my real friends anymore. But at least Substack doesn't make me get stupider every minute I use it.

[-]

luxtabula@reddit

I'm on everything but Snapchat and Pinterest.

Most people my age are on Instagram, FB or Reddit. Free have migrated to tiktok. Twitter and its clones are a weird realm to discuss.

Reddit is the only one where I have meaningful interactions. Instagram only works if you're incredibly niche and built up an audience. Same with tiktok. FB is just bizarre and not a place to chat anymore. I don't understand it, it seems like it's purposely stopping you from talking to others unless you're trying to argue.

[-]

YEMolly@reddit

Instagram & Reddit for me.

[-]

MoonlitBlossoms@reddit

Same. I spend more time on Instagram, but I enjoy Reddit.

[-]

Sandkat@reddit

All my hobby related content and friends are on Instagram so I use it quite a bit.

[-]

EarlGrey1984@reddit

Me too!

[-]

NutellaPC@reddit

Is YouTube social media? I don’t interact with the comments or the community parts much so I don’t consider it as such, but if it is, I use yt, Reddit, and Instagram. I kicked fb years ago and I know I should can ig too but I’m fond of Instagram for some reason.

I’ve tried to leave Reddit several times but I always feel cut adrift from current events and lost in a way that I don’t feel with other social media, so I always end up coming back. This degenerate place has fully Stockholmed me, I guess 😭

[-]

tasukiko@reddit

I get reviews and thoughts on things here in Reddit. I post pictures of food and projects I'm making on Facebook. I chat with my friends via messenger and or text and in person of course. My besties and I got digital picture frames that we send each other pictures on of anything we don't want all over the world so basically anything with people's faces but I'm not sure it that counts exactly.

[-]

Designer_Government4@reddit

You’re on it. Pretty much Reddit exclusively. Instagram for my photography

stackpolio@reddit

No it’s not, you’re wrong. So absolutely terrifically wrong. Maybe the wrongest person in the history of wrong.

[-]

thebookofswindles@reddit (OP)

Sounds like you have a source to add. Do you? (sincerely)

[-]

stackpolio@reddit

Sorry OP, I was just fooling around. No sources here because I don’t know nothing!

I’m still on FB and Reddit, mostly for the hobby groups I belong to. Twitter is a dumpster fire. Reddit is too, mostly. I’m too old and reclusive to be bothered with Insta or Snap or TikTok or any of the other GenZ platforms.

If you have hobbies/interests/obsessions, try seeking a group of like-minded people on FB or Reddit.

Hope you’re able to find a group of people with whom you can have great community, though!

[-]

Negative-Wrap95@reddit

Twitter is a dumpster fire. 🌏👩‍🚀🔫👩‍🚀 Even before Elmo, but especially after.

jadethebard@reddit

My real life friends are still on Facebook primarily, though it's far quieter than it used to be. I also use bluesy and obviously reddit. I have some friends on discord but honestly I don't really like using it, it's more my kid's platform.

[-]

Worried-Trade-6407@reddit

You're on it!

[-]

Mekroval@reddit

I use reddit, Facebook (yes it still has its uses), Messenger, Instagram and occasionally Bluesky.

Of them all, I use reddit the most heavily, but I find Facebook/Messenger the best way to keep in touch with old friends and family, and occasionally making new friends.

[-]

al_rey503@reddit

Mostly Reddit tbh.

[-]

DooficusIdjit@reddit

A great many of my friends pretty much quit all social media outside of professionally important stuff. Reddit is the only one I participate in besides a handful of hobby related discords

I believe we are everywhere, at least speaking from a younger xennial/elder millennial perspective.

Though, Facebook probably the least, of the major ones.

[-]

BornTry5923@reddit

Only reddit and YouTube

[-]

Master-Topic-2989@reddit

Reddit is my go to these days. I still have a private IG/Threads that I look at sometimes. Lots of stuff happened in life and I had to block and/or minimize contact w just about everybody. I like being anonymous. Ok but do you guys remember Xanga??? That was my jam. 😆

[-]

handsoapdispenser@reddit

Bluesky is ok. It's like 1% the volume of twitter which is honestly great and just lets you do a reverse chron of your follows and no algorithm.

[-]

kittenpantzen@reddit

Bluesky is good if you keep it to where you're only seeing posts from people you actually know. Although, before the musk takeover, the same could have been said about Twitter.

[-]

lassie86@reddit

Threads is really good right now. Trying to enjoy it while it lasts.

There are plenty of LLM posts, but not as bad as Reddit yet.

[-]

bransanon@reddit

I feel like social media for our generation has been replaced by everyone having a small handful of group iMessage chats they're active in on a semi-regular basis.

LoudAd1396@reddit

I quit Facebook 2010 Quit Twitter after the Musk takeover Tried Spoutible, found it insufferable These days its just reddit.

[-]

WhosYourPadre79@reddit

Facebook is an absolute shit hole now. All politics, never see any post from my friends as it's all "suggested post" and the ads are the worst.

[-]

kittenpantzen@reddit

As a social media platform, Facebook sucks.

But, if you want to buy or sell used things, Craigslist has been DOA for years and Facebook is what killed it. It's also still used for hobby groups and events, but the biggest thing I use it for is marketplace.

[-]

LoudAd1396@reddit

I quit after I got an ad that was something like "ten things to tell the cops when you accidentally shoot an invader on your property". Had that account from the .edu period

Upon reflection it might have been closer to 2014. Who knows?

Reddit, Discod and online gaming. I have very little bandwidth for socials these days.

[-]

Aggravating-Bunch-44@reddit

Instagram for my kids who post on theirs and a few childhood friends (I am lethal on curating and navigating IG so a I don't get ragebait and consumerist bs)

Discord for current friends and hobby acquaintances

Reddit to learn and chit chat a little here and there on my current interests. I recently bought a dash cam bc of all the honest reviews with videos and learned how to install it. :)

Youtube to learn and for music. I don't use it for the social aspect.

[-]

space_wiener@reddit

Same as when I started pretty much. Facebook, Instagram, Reddit. Had TikTok for a business for a while but when you know who bought it, I haven’t been back.

I’ve tried to keep track of stuff on threads, mastodon, blue sky, etc. but it’s just too much.

[-]

ACorania@reddit

According to a search, Facebook, LinkedIn, is Instagram, YouTube.

I use YouTube of those but never considered it social at all. For me just reddit

[-]

AllDressedKetchup@reddit

Threads seems to be mostly Gen X and Millennials

[-]

ChiefSampson@reddit

Just Reddit personally, and You Tube if that's considered part of it. Never made a Twitter, Snapchat, Instagram, Tik Tok, etc.

taleofbenji@reddit

Text messaging is the only social media I use. The rest are intentionally designed to slowly suck the life out of you to turn you into an ad-viewing zombie.

Aggravating-Bunch-44@reddit

[-]

Significant-Rush-129@reddit

Reddit is pretty much it. I felt peer pressured to create a new FB after a full delete and long hiatus but I barely use it no. (And like many of us, I was a regular user of it in my 20s) Instagram was insufferable to me so that was very short lived.

[-]

engorgedfjord@reddit

drupi79@reddit

tiktok a little bit for 3d printing content, reddit obviously, but I dumped everything else in 2018 and honestly quite enjoy the peace that came with it. also gave me a good idea of who my friends really were or not.

Obi_Wan_Benobi@reddit

I still have a Facebook account to stay connected with friends and family around the world.

Lulu_42@reddit

Reddit and Discord groups. I cut the rest off almost 10 years ago. I kept worrying that I’d miss the updates from people I’m not in frequent contact with, but it turns out I really don’t care what Cousin Sarah is eating for breakfast.

[-]

CSWorldChamp@reddit

Reddit. That’s pretty much it.

[-]

dragon_morgan@reddit

bluesky is actually pretty good. instagram has good other-people's-content, or at least the algorithm over there likes me and shows me nice stuff, but I don't post much. Threads is toxic af but sometimes I go on there and seek out ragebait just to feel something.

No-Count3834@reddit

Reddit and I see a lot of friends using FB Messenger, not so much Facebook itself anymore.

When I see people post or share funny clips and stuff, I see it in Instagram reels more so. Because otherwise it’s buried by commercials in the algorithm. I think with FB amongst my friends 37-60 it’s to keep up with concerts, where you can mark as going it untreated and social events we may be interested in.

I live in New Orleans, a music city so always community things going on and cool shows. Surprisingly most all my friends do not drink, but like going out to all the fun little things going on. The older you get, if you wanna do that stuff and are single… I think a lot of people in my friend group have realized health is key to keeping up with living life to its fullest.

[-]

johnb300m@reddit

Reddit and Instagram. I love the reels, honestly. Lots of recipes, lots of generations bonding, lots of cutesy animals that I love but would never/couldn’t handle as pets.

[-]

JediNeo101@reddit

I still have a Twitter/X account. Although I never tweet and somehow have 26 followers, all bots. I keep because I follow a lot of sports writers/personalities and nothing is better for instant reactions during live sporting events. Also use it for sneaker info and during SDCC

I still have a FB account but I haven't logged in for years.

Reddit because I can find a sub for pretty much any topic.

bangobot46@reddit

Reddit + Discord to talk to my kids + Signal for group chats with my friends. I still have FB because my work uses it primarily, but I just get on there, check work posts, and get off.

I have Bluesky but it just never really grabbed me. I don't really use it anymore. I don't have anything else. I wish I had a photo sharing place.

pushdose@reddit

Reddit. Too much. But it’s been invaluable for me. I’ve gotten a lot of business from Reddit. IG for my local friends only. The algorithm is terrible. And my beloved YouTube for learning everything for free.

YouTube if you count that as social media… then Reddit and BlueSky. Twitter was my main social media for a decade, and I quit that a few years back when it became super awful.

Reddit is the only social media I use. I guess Instagram a little bit too, but only because people send me stuff.

Reddit: Every day social

Facebook: I have 12 friends. They are all out of state. Easy to keep up with them.

TikTok: My best friend really wanted to show me anime videos.

Group chats for close friends and family, instagram and Facebook for business reasons and acquaintances. I haven’t found a better way to advertise my small biz or find out about community events than those boomer and millennial hellscapes and I do not understand TikTok.
