Don’t let it use you

Leave a comment

The daily prompt wants to know – How do you use social media?

First rule of social media with me is to use it and not let it use me. I like some social media, like WordPress and Zenfolio. My blogging and photography sites. I work on them often and enjoy them very much.

I have a Facebook account, but I try to use that less and less each day. I keep track of old neighborhood, school and work friends through that tool. Also enjoying some comedy clips and other humor like cartoons. Oh, and the car club and event meet ups and things at the beach for my pilgrimages there.

I used to use LinkedIn when I was working a bit. Now the only time I check in with it is with an old friend who might be having a work anniversary or new job.

YouTube is something I enjoy for music and comedy as well as the occasional karma video just to reinforce that some balance in the universe exists.

I believe I have an Instagram account and Flicker one but I don’t use them. I should delete them.

I’m proud to say I’ve NEVER done Twitter or X.

I’ve used Reddit from time to time because I’ve found good advice/information on things.

I use email a lot because I enjoy writing to friends and family often. I guess I got that from my mother, she was an avid writer. That’s social, isn’t it?

I’ll go with the short stack of pancakes this morning.
