Facebook is my main social media, though I do a quick scroll on Insta and X sometimes.
I don’t like social media.
I use Facebook and Instagram to keep up with family and friends.
I unfortunately go down the Facebook rabbit hole too frequently! Yikes and I use Instagram primarily to ‘follow’. I rarely post there.
I never use social media unless a contest/sweepstakes requires me to in order to enter.
Yes, facebook. A non-profit I volunteer with uses it as its method of communication with volunteers.
I use facebook to connect with family and share updates/photos!
I have Facebook and Instagram accounts but rarely use them. Not good for my mental health!
Don’t post on social media, just share some opinions in news comment sections.
I use Facebook. I love when restaurants post deals on Facebook!!
I mainly use Insta but don’t post much. FB only for 2 groups not for general.
I watch TikTok videos, but don’t use any other social media outlets. Thanks for asking!
Yes, I do. Mostly Facebook.
I get notifications from both Instagram and Facebook but don’t post as I am not tech savvy. I also get notifications from Tik Tok and u tube. Unfortunately I don’t do social media.
try not to use too much social media – but facebook comes in handy to talk with long distance friends…thanks.
I finally caved and set up a Facebook account (mostly for Marketplace)
I quit using social media late last year because of the negative impacts of it and algorithms. I want to be in charge of my attention span, and social media definitely doesn’t make that easy.
I use facebook to keep abreast of many areas of life

Hi I use Facebook mainly, best wishes on your Sweet 16
I use social media to communicate with my son’s school, his soccer team, my gym and friends. My riends and I will send recommendations on places to go and so forth.
The only social media platform I use is Facebook. Mainly, because I am old. haha.
Secondly, I find Instagram too confusing. I like the way FB has all kinds of posts on the main page, whereas in IG, you have to click on each person’s profile. (I think)
Not a Social Media user but regularly sharing with others about your Amazing Website! Please never stop sharing your great money-saving deals!
fb. stay connected with friends.
I never post but I do follow certain people and media on Bluesky, Instagram, Threads, X, and forward good ones to family and friends.
I don’t use social media. Some companies only do tech support via social media, so I have some memberships to use at those times. Otherwise, they might as well not exist.
I use mostly linkedin
I have both Facebook and Instagram accounts. These accounts were opened so I could access coupons or other discounts. I make every effort to stay off social media unless I’m notified of a good bargain.
I use Facebook, Instagram, BeReal, and TikTok. Love MHOTC. Keep up the good work!
I still use several platforms, but, unfortunately, Facebook still remains king.
Not a big social media user but like to browse Instagram, Facebook, YouTube. Prefer communicating with people the old fashioned way.
Congrats MHOTC!! What an amazing reason to celebrate. I use Instagram mostly but I realize its the chat feature I am using the most to keep in touch with friends/family and to lift them up! I try to only share funny/uplifting news to share some feel good. :) <3

I use Facebook primarily to network with other therapists. Every blue moon I’ll post or like something, but I try to stay away due to everything that’s transpired with the election and Meta. Currently, I use TikTok the most. It’s great for so many things, both personal and professional. I signed up for Bluesky about a month ago and it’s okay. Instagram and Nextdoor are also used but rarely. Once Twitter was bought, I said sayonara.
I use a little bit of Social Media, mostly Facebook, only to see pictures of family members and to get offers for new products or see advertisements for companies I follow.
I don’t use social media. I think a more apt description would be Anti-Social Media.
I have accounts on Facebook and Instagram. I mainly use Facebook – to keep in touch with friends and relatives and follow pages like you for great deals. I’ll check Instagram once every few days just to see if there’s anything new.
I use Social Media only for “work”. I am involved with a number of Human Rights organizations and need to keep in contact with colleagues around the world. I don’t put personal info online. I use FB and Discord mostly. (I’d like to get off of FB, but that is not possible when most of the people I need to communicate with are on FB).
I use Facebook to stay in touch with retired friends, no matter where in the world they are.

My go-to platform is Instagram because of the wide variety of content.
Facebook
I don’t use social media. I can see how it would be helpful for keeping up with family and friends. Regarding traditional news and commentary, anybody can have an opinion. Ask yourself, is it rational or based on reason, not emotion? Is it well-informed? Is it well-expressed?
facebook is my go to
I do use social media and find myself using instagram the most just because I love seeing people’s photos and I tend to see a lot of ads for things that interest me on there.
I don’t use social media
I don’t actively “DO” social media. I’m with Betty White – seems like a big fat waste of time.
I admit I DO occasionally watch YouTube videos and I often read comments attached to articles (usually Facebook based), but I don’t actively participate. And I almost ALWAYS regret reading the comments – always devolve into namcalling and off topic political rants. SOOO predictable!
I stay away from all social media! Not a Luddite, but I don’t want the work to know all about my private life. So please keep on having MHOTC as an email blast!!
I do not use social media. I am retired. I use my free time to read and enjoy working in my garden.
