Idk if I count because I use Tumblr regularly, but I never warmed up to Twitter, Facebook, Instagram or Snapchat (I do use Instagram to find tattoo artists occasionally tho).
Personally I just hate how posting to some social media feels like having to put on a mask, or how performative it is. That and the constant toxicity and negativity. It’s bad for me, mentally, so I don’t engage anymore. (Tumblr is the exception because my dashboard is exactly what I want and makes me happy.)
The anonymity of the Internet brings out the worst in people, the connectivity means I see every single bad thing that happens in the world. Bad for the brain.
I also like that in this format, you can get a lot of people’s thoughts on a topic, including deeper conversation, all at once. In discord, I’m always having to scroll back & forth, and the other socials are frustrating to deal with.

Personally, I’ve found Reddit now Lemmy to be better than other social media because the focus is on the content rather than the poster.
Instead of following individual people, you follow topics. This encourages more quality content rather than personal clout

This is a great point
