as someone who saw the rise of social media (back in 2005-2012-ish) I never got in to it even back then I would prefer to use sites like 4ch, something awful, new grounds, CWCki Forums/kiwi farms, etc etc

even back when facebook was getting popular I would get judged for not making my own profile, oh how the zeitgeist changes :cirno-laugh: now I see the some people talking about how hard is to quit social media and saying everything they called me a "grandma" for saying
IKTF, normalniggers are retarded

I felt so much better after leaving Twitter. What a dump that place has become.

Honestly, y'all be better off not using these sites Twitter, Reddit and also the platform Discord.

Especially when it comes to anime mainstream communities places like Reddit's r/anime which is has a lot of minors that you don’t want to interact with.

Something Awful is a shithole. Don't go there.

I left all social media and I don't plan to come back. I learned the hard way that you can't have an opinion on social media. I also may have ADHD (I'm going through a diagnosis) which makes browsing social media even worse.
I used to have a twitter just to check fanart but now I think it's better to just wait for them to post on pixiv.

There are some other site that can view every art without pixiv account like y and k but y has tons of fanart so don't waste too much time on y.

God, it's so funny to lurk on twitter/varis sometimes, especially all the over reaction people are doing about literally nothing because they're all just as bad as the antis they piss and shit about. That's the only good thing I get from either site. It's hilarious to watch them all cry about rushia or the complete meltdown about a bubukka oc for the eight thousandth time. Just makes me so glad I never made an account on either of the sites. Social media is for faggots, and the only thing it should be used for is laughing at people, because it's all comedy gold.

but that shit also happens in forums... I don't think it has anything to do with those social networks, there are just retarded people everywhere.

We would see less of them if social media didn't exist. Any positive social media has brought is vastly outnumbered by the negatives.

At least with forums, there's nothing interconnected. It's far more deliberate and small scale which let's you control the idiots far easier.

Everything else is far too connected. Anything you do can easily be seen by millions of people or bots. You post trash on tiktok and it only takes a single post for half of twitter to see it. Trash like twitter is specifically designed to be abused. Social media is specifically designed for lowest common denominator.

This site and YouTube are literally the only places online I like to browse. Every other social media is total cancer. Admins and jannies are power tripping retards sucking corporate dick and the people that aren't braindead trash are such a minority and so oppressed, spit on and censored that it's a miracle that minority still exists. The majority of standard users are fucking tools that cannot think for themselves and create their "opinions" with dying legacy fake news media or what those monkeys known as celebrities moan on social media. Almost 100% of those that became a celebrity in Murica after 2005 are so fucking braindead and have as much knowledge as a kindergartener in the special ward.

Let's not forget all the cliché way the normalfags think:
"You know that today's good thing is GOOD, and the thing that was good yesterday is now BAD"
"You like [insert thing here] that I don't like cuz Celeb#22515 and TV news don't like, therefore you are [insert ismphobia here] and I will try to ruin your life for your wrong think"

AVOID TWITTER & TIKTOK LIKE THE PLAGUE. The only reason for still using them is to either shill your own stuff or for porn but even the latter is becoming more and more shit and censored. Facebook and Reddit are shit echo chambers (Reddit being far worse), Snapchat and Instagram are filled to the brim with thots posting their fake photoshoped pictures they took on their iToddler bricks and incel SIMPs drooling over the thots.

I think about that everyday. I'm really tired. Of everything, honestly.
Sadly, everything anime and game related news I get from there and all the artists I like are there too. Not to mention that I got too used to talking to myself about cringe shit i like that no one cares about and twitter is now an outlet for that
