Username checks out?
What the what? There is no “none of these” choice? In that case I’d check them all. And in the next screen when they ask how many hours for each, put 100 hours for each of them.
I have never had an account on any of those, did have a very long run on Reddit and a couple of interest-specific communities.
I’d just abandon it if I couldn’t answer a question or it was too involved (like a free text box answer).
Which is why proper survey design never allows for this.
Lemmy, Sharkey, and YouTube for me. I’m on Facebook, but less than an hour a week. A friend posts a weekly “how’s everyone doing?” post and I usually comment on that.
I would get discord, youtube, lemmy, and reddit
I try to avoid new platforms tho bc I don’t trust myself not to get addicted and social media already takes up too much of my time
I don’t use any of those. Quit Facebook 10 years ago and never really used the others. I just got booted (the account was literally vapourized)off of Reddit after 9 yrs today. Posted a pic of a hat that said is he dead yet. No text just the pic. I don’t care anymore really as once Reddit went on the stock market it was all over anyhoo.
Wow. I can honestly say I spend less than an hour a week on all of those. I wasn’t expecting that.
I can honestly say I have spent less than an hour in my life on all of those added together. Probably less than 10 minutes. Does that mean I am winning?
Zero on all for me.
I spend about 10-20 mins on Snapchat a week.
If they don’t count FBMsgr for family/portalTV chat, then I’m under an hour as well.
All they need to do is put YouTube on there for a more meaningful survey.
I hate that “social media” is such a broad umbrella term. It totally lacks useful context. “Social networking site” is great, straightforward and descriptive. But “social media” encompasses every way we communicate with each other except for “traditional media” which got grandfathered through. BBS predates the internet!
All that to say: YouTube is, for many, a public-access TV station and I’m too young to be this mad about it.
Still would be zero for me.
Touching grass I see
Would be my only answer, unless Lemmy is there too. Although I watch YouTube with ad block and sponsor block and never post a comment. So it’s just a one way stream of only useful information (I don’t watch junk, only stuff I learn from)

That’s objectively poor survey design. For questions like that there should always be an ‘Other’ option. There should also be a ‘None’ or ‘N/A’ option.
A radio presenter this morning was talking like we all have Instagram, I found that incredibly annoying.
Pixelfed?
There are 2 billion MAUs on there. We are the weird ones.
According to Instagram
Not to mention one person having multiple accounts for different purposes and business accounts. Instagram is big, no doubt, but not 2 billion users big
And how many are bots?
Yeah, just for my roommate ages back there’s her, her dog, the creepy person stealing the pictures of her dog and making an account based on that
2 billion is only a quarter of 8 billion. They are the weird ones.
I first questioned why two billion cats have Instagram accounts, then realized there can’t be 2 billion Egyptian Maus in all the world, much less on Instagram.
cat?
Someone confused MAU (Monthly Average Users) with Mau (the Egyptian Mau cat). :)
How many of those are bots or alts?
Maus?
Pre-death Deadmau5?
Deadmau5 is alive and still active. Am I missing something here?
Monthly Active Users
Monthly active mice?
It’s german for mouse.
Ich weiß, ich bin eine Katze.
I’m fine with being weird, my beef is the presumption that everyone has Instagram.
We are the 72%. They’re the weird ones.
Sure, two billion is a lot, but that is still only a third of all living adults.
Agreed, the only way this would be acceptable if this was in an application for a Social Media manager position?
I complained in the “other” box that they did include for a different question lol
And yet, I think most people are checking all those boxes, unfortunately. Pray for their mental health! 😵
I was thinking the same thing. But if this was a survey specifically for social media, there wouldn’t be a N/A option except at the beginning to make you not have to continue further and waste your time and theirs. (Survey for getting users’ input on social media use, etc.)
But definitely agreed on other. There are so many social media sites out there.
There’s way more social media than these options. Where’s?
Reddit
4chan
Lemmy
Mastodon
Bluesky
Forums
Discord
YouTube
Patreon
Medium
Steam
Whatsapp
Pornhub
VRchatSome of these are very very popular. Asking people their social media habits, and preventing people on most social media from answering, will produce garbage biased data. I hope this study fails peer review and the PhD student responsible flunks.
None of the above?
Pinterest. They’re like half of google results.
And I never understood how to use it. If I click on a Google result from Pinterest I’m always taken to something completely different.
Oh good. I’m not the only one.
far from it.
its a dysfunctional link aggregator. their entire business model is consolidation of other people’s web content. make a FUCKING ACCOUNT IF YOU WANT TO SEE THE PHOTOS BRAIDED LEATHER WRISTBANDS
Not with -pinterest
If you use kagi you can just permanently block Pinterest. And any other site you want. Or rank their listings lower.
Or maybe google shouldn’t include spam in its results.

Think of it as giving them bad data.
No one will like hearing this answer but they may already understand the issue of it being bad data and have a good reason not to care.
Here’s the thing. When “none” or “skip” is there, people gravitate toward it. You end up getting 75% of people saying “none” for every question, and then your entire survey is meaningless. I hate surveys too. Everyone hates them. All the more reason to just mash “skip” or “none.” Because fuck you and fuck your survey.
Meanwhile, what % of people don’t touch any of these social networks? Maybe we can’t say for sure, but it’s way less than 75%.
So you’re choosing between two possible sources of bad data, and choosing the one you know to be of lower magnitude.
I’m exclusively on Pinterest 100hours/week. (I forgot to close the tab with the image search for cool origami)
What’s the coolest origami you’ve ever made? Never tried it but it seems fun.
I was kidding mostly but while travelling (no letters where I was staying) I did recently make, out of basically waste paper, an origami gift card holder I was proud of :) it opens up in the back and you can slide out the card. No tape, no glue. I can look for the website with instructions if you’re interested
Thanks for sharing. Thats very cool.
If you have the link on hand I’d take a look but don’t go out of your way as it may just end on my endless list of things I might do one day.
Thanks :) here it is. Or search “origami letter”
Thank you! Have a nice weekend.
Saving this one, it looks very cool!

Snapchat for only texting other people
Instagram for memes & some minor ““celebrities”” (YouTubers and some trans folk that give tips)
Pinterest for outfits/tattoo designs/etc. I get memes from there and post to 196 sometimes.
discord for uhhhh… discord stuff, idk. I scroll meme channels sometimes. and sometimes chat
YouTube for 99% of my online things. Unhealthy AF addition
Lemmy for more memes and news (not the best practice tbh) I mainly use just bc I want to support the fediverse and it’s better than scrolling reposted Instagram reels
I don’t use any twitter/bsky/threads/mastodon type platform, I just don’t mesh with the type I guess. It’s just short political stuff that’s depressing and memes which I get from literally everywhere else 🤷♀️
Select all
chaos! chaos!
Choose at least one option? I don’t use any of those platforms. My only social media is Lemmy and Reddit.
Can I participate in this survey?
