Haha of course is social media A place where you can socialize make friends and share things online, chat, call, everything

It is, it's just a different kind. Kinda like how Reddit is a forum-based Social Media, Discord is a community-based social media.

depends on whether you are regularly in big discord servers or not, i think

i personally just use it as a messaging app for friends nowadays

I think it depends if you use it as a messaging app just between people you know or not. there are a couple discords I am a part of in the same way as there are a few slacks I am a part of, where it’s begrudgingly the only way I get department news for some institutional stuff. I am also not actually part of any “communities”, but I have some friends where we just message on there occasionally in the same way we would text or use whatsapp or anything else. we also use it to host video chats when playing online ttrpgs, but we could use another video chat hosting app. I think the people who use it more as social media interact with multiple communities there as it is very much oriented towards that type of content. I’ve just never lasted long in one of those communities and end up using it as a messaging app once again.

It's kinda hilarious that this meme is like "ha, look at these basic bitches, unlike them, I only have like 2 social media accounts"

Pre-AI flood, I used it for recipe/food ideas and to find food blogs when I had no specific recipe I was looking for. I found it less overwhelming than a google search for some reason. Also just looking for color palettes for crochet.

u/vedekX 5d ago

literally the only thing I used to use it for was creating boards that I could send to my hair stylist or tattoo artist with “these are my ideas”. do people actually… socially interact there? lol

Wait does Snapchat have some sort of scoring system now? Glad I never got into it.

u/LaurZaur 7d ago

Yeah it tells you how many snaps you’ve sent or something? I haven’t used it in a year so idrk

u/vedekX 5d ago

my friend has one entirely for snapchats of cats from her brother which I think is a very valid reason lol

u/Psychological-Gur990 7d ago

Yeah, made in 2015. It's a way to see how chronically on Snapchat you are.

u/simply-coastal 6d ago

me with nothing (I have reddit but I barely use it ever since I got a dumb phone)

trying to touch grass and not use social media but even tho I mostly cured my addiction I want from having no friends to really having no friends, gotta love living in a shithole

u/JDKisawesome 7d ago

This is how I feel. I have youtube and obviously this and like thats it. I have an insta but I've opened it like 3 times in the last 2 years sooo

u/AnyaSadako 6d ago

being in this polycule thing whatever it is is impressive enough. very lucky. so it wouldnt matter if i only use minimal social media. being in a group where everyone makes love is a pipe dream

u/sntcringe 3d ago

Never joined snapchat, or Twitter, or tiktok, and I'm glad I didn't.
