I was on Twitter quite early but soon realised it’s just a mass of hatred and gave up quite soon after. It’s a vile place. I occasionally get emails linking me to various conversations with those I ‘used to’ follow and occasionally I take a quick look and soon realise it’s a complete waste of mind space and time
YouTube is fabulous for me. I’ve gone Premium to get rid of the adverts and it’s the best £12 I spend a month. I have loads of interests and hobbies. Wargaming, miniature painting, crafts, military history, playing tennis, keyboards and piano in a covers band, and now I’ve just moved to a new house, the number of times I’ve typed in ‘how to …. ‘ for various DIY projects recently with top informative videos coming back in my searches is just invaluable
The various Facebook groups I belong to are interesting as well and it seems to have a good community spirit in the groups I belong to and certainly doesn’t seem to be as vile as X
WhatsApp groups for my various activities is now a vital communication tool for me: Organising games of tennis with various partners and chatting to fellow band mates inbetween gigs and practices and chatting to various friends in small groups. Posting silly amusing ‘funnies’ is always good for a laugh
Other than Twitter, the other two social media apps I can’t seem to get on with are Tick Tock and Instagram. Instagram is just boring, just pretty pictures with no real discussion or genuine interest and it all looks false. Tick Tock is another platform that just wastes time, might be slightly amusing but after 2 minutes of getting caught watching utter rubbish, I get angry with myself for having wasted 2 minutes of my life
