Only WhatsApp because of my family. Not much of a choice there…

I've told all my friends to only talk to me on Signal, and they both do.

I got off Facebook 10 years ago, never got entangled with anything else.

Everyone here pretending like the FB marketplace isn't the best option for used items now that CL is dead

I got rid of facebook when Edward Snowden dropped his info. Never used the other services and never will.

Yeah, mostly Instagram and Messenger. All of my friends are on both so I don't really have a choice.

And yes, before you ask, I tried to push everyone to signal and failed.

I have an Instagram, by which that means it's been abandoned but not deleted (was created by pressure from an ex anyway) Otherwise nah, I don't use any of them. They just don't really provide anything I want or care about.

I have not had a FB account since 2015. Just decided to delete it one day and never returned. Never had an insta. And definitely not signing up for threads.

Whatsapp is ubiquitous in my country, so while I try to use Signal with as many people as I can, I do use Whatsapp at least every couple days. Never had Instagram or Threads. I have an inactive facebook account.

Actually checked my Facebook feed recently out of curiosity. It's amazing how dead it is these days. I could scroll for ages and none of the posts were from people on my friends list, or even pages I liked. Everything was just generic shit.

I'm right now downloading all my pictures so I can delete my Facebook and Instagram accounts... 1) I'm transitioning so it seems like a good time to disconnect myself from all the embarrassing photos of me as a teenager and 2) Facebook is just full of utter garbage these days anyway.

Why not count Oculus product?

Anyway I still use WhatsApp as most people I know uses it.

Only Facebook because I'm forced to in order to talk to my mom who helps me financially and she's not tech savvy enough for anything else.

I never did. In my 25 years of using and working with computers, my only social media accounts where Twitter (deleted since 5 years), reddit (deleted) and now the fediverse.

And I never give people my private mobile number if I know that they use meta apps

Quest counts.

No, I don’t use any of their products.

I deleted my Facebook account in 2010 after Zuck's "stupid fucks" comment and never touched a product that I could associate with them since.

No. They're a privacy disaster. They foster misinformation, hatred, and violence. They have repeatedly lied to the public, national governments, and even their shareholders. A lot of my friends and family still use them heavily, but I refuse to deal with them anymore.

No

Still?

That implies I ever did...

Nope. I only used Facebook, but I deleted my account when I was around 12.

No, not at all. That said, I also don't use anything by Apple, I have to use Microsoft Teams but I do that in Firefox, and while I use Android it is a custom ROM, so the lack of Meta is not surprising.

Nope. Quit facebook years ago, never had insta or threads. Wanted to get an Oculos but hell no.

Yes, reluctantly, and only weekly and in incognito mode on this one laptop.

So many things regarding my kids' spare time activities are organized via facebook.

I check Facebook about quarterly for messages from people who don't know I don't use that platform. That's literally the only reason I keep my account active. I also have all notifications turned off and don't have the phone app, so if someone contacts me on there that I'm not expecting, they'll be waiting a while to hear back.

There are a couple of people in my life who prefer to communicate via WhatsApp, and my immediate family has a group chat in Messenger. Other than that, nope.

I stopped using Facebook in like 2008 but for work reasons, I have a Facebook account called “[My first name] Dev Account” and the profile picture is “I do not use Facebook” in like 8 languages. People tag it in photos.

I check facebitch every once in a while, but I never post. Last status update was like 6 years ago. I have an Instagram too, but log in maybe once every 6 months. I honestly don't see the allure of it since they started selling all our data, I felt no need to give them anything to sell.

Nah, never did

I have FB only because I have friends who communicate primarily through messenger. They have shit cell signal where they live, so they use messenger on wifi. I told them they have different options, but they like messenger so whatever lol. I'll deal with it because I love the fools and enjoy their company lol.

I've been on Instagram since it came out and still lurk despite it daring me to quit every time I open it

I use Messenger because of inertia. I've had it for over a decade and all my shit is on there, including how I met my girlfriend of 6 years.

I use WhatsApp and Instagram aswell as my quest

Cancelled in 2016 or so and never looked back. Now I look at people with a face filled with shock when I hear that they still use Facebook. Usually it's "oh but the marketplace" or "oh but the events".

I'm still on Facebook to keep up with family I don't want having my phone number. I'm on Insta to support friends who's business is kind of tied to it (tattooers and other artists mostly). I'm on Threads because my work requires me to be in there (and elsewhere) to promote their stuff. I don't actually do that, but apparently once you have an account it's there forever unless you want to nuke your Instagram account as well.

I've receeded from FB and Insta (along with Twitter {"X"} and Reddit) as well as being fully adverse to posting on Threads in favor of Fediverse alternatives. Been on Mastodon since the 2021 Facebook whistleblower and Lemmy since Reddit's API BS last year. Haven't tried BlueSky or the other Twitter alternatives. Now... getting away from using Google/Alphabet has been another struggle entirely.

I am forced to use instagram, because that's all anyone my age uses to communicate. I'm in the process of setting up matrix bridge so that I can be done with that app.

I use Facebook for a few nonprofit pages I run. Its main perk is events organization. I also use Instagram for my nonprofits as well -- it's easy(ish) to cross post on both platforms while still respecting the individual audiences who consume content on each.

WhatsApp with close family Facebook for distant family, neighborhood hoa, and things i like to follow like animal shelters. I made an Instagram years ago but never used it and deleted it when i switched from r/ to lemmy. One funny thing - Facebook has the wrong birthdate for me. It used to be correct and now it's not. Could it have picked it up when i entered a fake birthdate on a cannabis or alcohol website??

Not for years now, and I’m very glad for it

I used to for communicating with friends. I felt I was starting to become addicted to doomscrolling, basically said "screw this, message me on Matrix", and deleted my accounts. Two of the lot actually made an account, and nobody except me actually uses it. So be it, then. I care more about my privacy than having people to talk to.

i sometimes take a look at instagram
