I'm maxed out on social media. Lemmy is my main one. Then, there's Facebook so my old relatives can see baby pics. I'd rather not, but they're old and set in their ways. I have Discord strictly as a chat platform with my brother and a couple college buddies for gaming. I have LinkedIn for work, and never look at it. And finally, I watch YouTube (Revanced). That's it. There's no room for Digg anymore.
I started getting incredible sales job offers that im not qualified for in my email recently. It turns out at some point 7 years ago I updated it to say I sold cars and never changed it. Thus these companies think I have years slinging cars when IRL it was a year. Im not salesperson with a massive capacity to take abuse so those gigs arent for me.
I wouldnt consider them all social media. Discord is ass, its such an odd platform it never eoccured to me that people use it for in real life friends. Youtube is basically low budget netflix for me, no need to socialise on it - probably best to avoid it tbh.
