I’m a middle aged guy, so I only use Snapchat. Because me and my friends have children and no free time so that’s how we keep in touch and share our lives.
Wow. I can honestly say I spend less than an hour a week on all of those. I wasn’t expecting that.
I can honestly say I have spent less than an hour in my life on all of those added together. Probably less than 10 minutes. Does that mean I am winning?
It does, in fact.
I spend about 10-20 mins on Snapchat a week.
If they don’t count FBMsgr for family/portalTV chat, then I’m under an hour as well.
Zero on all for me.
Pinterest. They’re like half of google results.
Not with -pinterest
Or maybe google shouldn’t include spam in its results.
If you use kagi you can just permanently block Pinterest. And any other site you want. Or rank their listings lower.

I seriously don’t understand why anyone would use it. It’s basically a platform that copies images from the internet and lets you bookmark them. Something browsers had since the 90s. Or you could just download the pictures to a folder, so you can see all the thumbnails.
And I never understood how to use it. If I click on a Google result from Pinterest I’m always taken to something completely different.
Oh good. I’m not the only one.
far from it.
its a dysfunctional link aggregator. their entire business model is consolidation of other people’s web content. make a FUCKING ACCOUNT IF YOU WANT TO SEE THE PHOTOS BRAIDED LEATHER WRISTBANDS
None of the above?
Hey, look, all the sites I specifically avoid, plus Pinterest which just happens to get avoided.
Pinterest… I got a Pinterest account because my wife recommended it after I asked what it was.
I got it. Very uninteresting. I see one image of like, lingerie or something, so I’m a heterosexual dude and I click that shit, think to myself, hey that’s sexy, maybe my wife will look good in that.
Kid you not, my feed was nothing but lingerie and sexy stuff after that, and women’s clothing. And there was seemingly no way to reset my algorithm or delete my view history or anything. I wanted to see stuff from my interests, like art, skateboarding, gaming, sports, computing, technology, what have you. But my feed was ruined forever.
My bad, I guess. 🤷♂️
Just search for something else.
I use it a lot to find photos to draw and paint from, but I do use some unknown site to do it (on the web so adblockers work), the app or the normal website is a total trainwreck but this one is fine IMO: https://kr.pinterest.com/pin/
I guess that could work but I’m long gone from trying to get Pinterest to work for me. There’s… no interest. 🙃
I got the uBlacklist Firefox extension specifically to block Pinterest from search results.
closes questionnaire
Why bother taking the survey then, or is it somehow mandatory?
Username checks out?
Choose at least one option? I don’t use any of those platforms. My only social media is Lemmy and Reddit.
Lemmy, Sharkey, and YouTube for me. I’m on Facebook, but less than an hour a week. A friend posts a weekly “how’s everyone doing?” post and I usually comment on that.
Pinterest is not even a social
By not having “None of the above” or an “Other” allowing you to fill in the blank, instantly discards this data as viable. which makes this question pointless to even answer, let alone ask.
I think they shot themselves in the foot, one thing thats worse than no data is wrong data. And they are forcing people to produce wrong data.
Choose every option.
Didn’t even have Reddit lmao
They sabotaged themselves years ago by squashing popular votes with an algorithm, so a large amount of people don’t realize the size of the site.
You can go look at recent popular tweets and see 200k reactions, meanwhile the top posts on reddit show 10-30k votes, despite having 2-50 times as many behind the scenes.
I would get discord, youtube, lemmy, and reddit
I try to avoid new platforms tho bc I don’t trust myself not to get addicted and social media already takes up too much of my time
I don’t use any of those. Quit Facebook 10 years ago and never really used the others. I just got booted (the account was literally vapourized)off of Reddit after 9 yrs today. Posted a pic of a hat that said is he dead yet. No text just the pic. I don’t care anymore really as once Reddit went on the stock market it was all over anyhoo.
You’re… You’re on Lemmy now? How can you claim not to use ‘any of those’ when you’re posting on one of those?
Yes, I am 67 yrs old. Far as I know I am on a different system (Lemmy) than all those others? Got wiped on Reddit and quit all the other ones years ago. Sorry if I am doing this incorrectly.
Discord, YouTube, Lemmy and Reddit was the list in the comment you replied to. I was referring to that list. Seems like we just had our wires crossed in the ambiguity in your usage of ‘those’ in the comment ‘I don’t use any of those’ wherein you were referring to the OP and I thought you were referring to the comment you replied to. Does that sound right to you?
Yes I ignored Lemmy on the list thinking oh they are good and mentally omitted it. No longer on Reddit for sure now. I seem to have been IP banned. Create a new account and post the most innocuous post and bam within 5 mins account banned. Rinse, repeat. Gonna fart around with my VPN to see in the next few days.
Lol tell them you use Pinterest.
i still don’t understand what the point of that site is, is it literally just made-up SEO spam that they managed to convince people is even slightly organic?
Pinterest? I’ve only touched it a few times to see what it was and it’s basically just Instagram, but instead of duck lips, misspelled names on coffee cups, and pictures of food it’s mainly focused on hobbies/crafts. That was years ago, tho. I have no idea what it’s like now.
It become Ai slop infested site, I had to in an extension to filter it out from my search result
