SerenaSeesAll User ID: 70493444 United States 10/09/2015 10:58 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | No social media, and I've never had any social media accounts. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 69417689 There's only a handful of people I care to communicate with, and I do it via text and phone. I rarely even use my email, only for appts, scheduling, or ordering stuff. There's too much other shit in life to focus on, than stupid Facebook crap. ============================================================= Noticing Miracles Is My Hobby The Bible - When you carry the Bible, Satan has a headache, when you open it, he collapses, when he sees you reading it, he loses his strength, AND when you stand on the Word of God, Satan can't hurt you! |

Only had a Facebook account for a while ad was sick of the all the mindless drivel people posted. Had a twitter account and I was in the top 10 of most followed people in my region of the UK and I never ever tweeted or promoted my account. |

Smith Mason User ID: 69473501 United States 10/09/2015 12:33 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I never signed for facebook type places but, received spams from these sights after detecting my emails to friends. These spams were of the nature as if my friends were asking me to sign up for those sights. When I called them, they said they never sent me those. I never carry the type of phones that can compromise my privacy. If you try to google my name etc. you will have a hard time finding anything on me. It doesn't mean that hackers cannot find it but they will have to struggle with it and must have a reason to. But I will not make it be available to them. Wise up folks, stop complaining and look what you are doing wrong. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 70454158 United Kingdom 10/09/2015 12:44 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I pretty much live like a hermit because I don't have the patience to deal with normies, and for a while I thought facebook was great because it allowed me to communicate with folks but unplug when it got tiresome. Then I realised it was PERMANENTLY tiresome. Turns out I can't stand normies online any more than I can in real life. Bunch of mindless baboons. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 70454158 United Kingdom 10/09/2015 12:45 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I do now. Still have a facebook to keep up with far away friends and family because they all refuse to use anything else, but I don't post anymore, just have a quick scroll maybe once a fortnight, more atm as my sister in law is due to give birth any day.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 9094168 United Kingdom 10/09/2015 01:08 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | i only have a landline phone. no mobile phone, no fb..etc. this site is about as "social" as i get. having only a landline can cause some probs as i finish work after office hours so getting in touch with business can be difficult, other than that, if someone needs to contact then they phone the house phone. |

The_Brave User ID: 1630959 United States 10/09/2015 01:17 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Never understood that term "social media" In a sense and actuality, GLP is a type of "social media" So yeah, you all use it. And what's wrong with sharing information with people from all over the world. It's quite empowering if done the right way and intent to learn and grow with others. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 70407818 United States 10/09/2015 01:22 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I've never even looked at social media...ever. My kids know not to refer to me by name or post my pic, or I'll kick thier ass. My tracfone and computer has always been under someone elses account. Never use my name on anything for public viewing. I talk to everyone I need to face to face, there's less bullshit that way. |

It's quite empowering if done the right way and intent to learn and grow with others. The idea is nice. The problem is that ideas worth listening and responding to are becoming few and far between. The supply and demand for useful accurate information is tragically low while endless selfies and mindless blabbering seems equate into increased traffic flow. |

U socialize with people here to..... no, this is a discussion board. Here we arent concerned about your vacation, we dont want to see your pics, we dont need to know what your favorite food is, we dont give the first fuck what your relationship status is, we dont need to know about your professional career, you likings or your leanings. Even the paid members with screen names are just that, screen names. Those screen names usually dont even offer hints as to your true identity. There is no way i can look at someones screen name and determine their name is mike smith, they work at wal mart, they drive a honda, they are married to sally, their favorite drink is dehydrated water or any other particular about each account. This is far from social media. The fact you confuse the two means you have much to learn still. You are partially right. For ACs this is just a message board and nothing more. But for paid members and mods this is a social media site and they are sbills. |
