Nope. I'm not very social online.

* I did lurk on Reddit until the API changes but can't stand the official app nor the website.
* I've got a Discord account, but honestly, it sucks pretty hard for everything but calling. Channels are unorganized messy chat logs of people I don't care for and rarely on-topic, can't even lurk there.
* I've got a Twitter account I made years ago. Never posted anything and stopped reading anything about a week later. I cannot bring myself to care about pretty much everything on there. The few headline worthy things buried beneath millions of worthless thoughts and boring life updates get posted here too.
* I've got a Facebook account I needed to communicate with some people at my university. Fake name, once again never posted. It's the same wall of random stuff you get on Twitter. If I care about someones life, I'll communicate with them 1 on 1. I don't care about minor stuff like their lunch either way. Haven't used it for many years.
* All the picture or video related ones I never even tried.  Except youtube, of course, but once again without engaging with any of the social stuff. I don't write comments, I don't rate them and since the removal of stars (I'm getting old, aren't I?) I didn't even rate a video.


All in all, I just miss old message boards. Small specialized communities, organized and searchable. Large message boards did very much suck too. Discord comes closest, but the lack of a proper search and separate threads  kill any usability. Also it's Chinese spyware.
