SOCIAL MEDIA POLL

[Biggus Dickus]

After a few of us members of HAF realized we aren't on Facebook I became curious to know how many of the users here at HAF do utilize social media, which platforms they do use and which ones are more popular than others.


Also curious why or why not a particular user may prefer one form over the other, so if folks are willing maybe leave a comment after placing your vote describing why you do or don't use a particular social media account.



P.S If there are any platforms I haven't listed please let me know and I can add it, also this is my first poll, so any suggestions would be not only welcome, but appreciated.

I have accounts with most of those, but I don't think I could call my limited activities with them as "utilizing" them.

I don't know if you voted or not Davin, but I had to remove the poll while I tweaked it. So if you did vote can you please go back and vote again?

I have an account with all of those, but I think I use Twitter the most... which doesn't make much sense because I understand the purpose of that one the least. If reddit counted, I use that one the most.

Hey, where is the "None of the above" option?

You are denying me my franchise!

(OK, I use Imgur to link pics and, maybe, have a line or two of chat there once every other Tuesday with an "r" in the month in response to comments about any public pics there.)

The system reprimanded me for not selecting anything when I pressed the submit button.

I added "None of the Above" as an option.

I added "None of the Above" as an option.

Thanks, Bru.

Is Imgur not chatty enough to qualify? In my very limited experience the chat is about the pics and a few jokes, no real "social" content, but there are "upvotes" and "downvotes".

I don't actually use my LinkedIn, I think I needed one to apply for something at some point. Or something.

I'm really only on Facebook because it's the oldest, just about everyone has one, and I don't like switching platforms and I find multiple accounts are usually redundant. I was on MySpace before that but I think they're legit gone now?

I've considered starting a Twitter but it would end in a cesspool of rape threats. I already know this. There's just no point.

Snapchat should maybe be added due to popularity, although it's very much a young demographic I don't know any of us fall in to.

Thanks, again, Bru.

Er, now how do I change my vote?

(Damn, should have kept quiet just to be in a minority! But, honesty is the path to poverty, er, I mean honour.)

I don't know how to change your vote.   I'm a newbie as well with this. Mods? Help?


I use Twitter, but not as a true social platform. By that I mean none of the people I follow or those who follow me do I know personally. I more or less use it as a news source, and don't actually post anything personal.

Same with Instagram. I only belong to that one because several people I receive emails from or who's blogs I read are on it, and I found it more accessible for some of my interests (Mainly cooking and yoga stuff, as I'm a vegetarian yoga dude)

Could our own Happy Atheist Forum not qualify as a Social Medium?

Sorted. There is now an option 'Remove Vote'. Click it and re-vote. When you set up a poll there is a tick box to select this option.

It does. And by definition we all use it
