This is key.
I follow a little bit of Facebook to keep up with our neighbourhood community, marketplace, and a bit of family/friends abroad.
I follow Twitter mostly for a perspective on non-mainstream news, but don't participate in discussions.
This is key.
Anyone who posts here that they aren't on any social media is obviously lying, since this IS social media.SpyderForLyfe wrote: ↑Fri Dec 30, 2022 4:04 pmAt first I thought I was alone, one of the few people in the world NOT on social media (facebook, twitter, insta, etc.).

With that said, who here is NOT on ANY social media at all?
Read my comments about that in earlier posts, please. This may technically be defined as social media, in the way that a sticker on a banana could be defined as an "edible food product" but in reality it's absolutely nothing like what other social media has become.yablanowitz wrote: ↑Sat Dec 31, 2022 9:39 pmAnyone who posts here that they aren't on any social media is obviously lying, since this IS social media.SpyderForLyfe wrote: ↑Fri Dec 30, 2022 4:04 pmAt first I thought I was alone, one of the few people in the world NOT on social media (facebook, twitter, insta, etc.).

That said, this place, Bladeforums and EDC forum are the entirety of my social media presence.
It isn't irrelevant. I wanted to know, that makes it relevant. To me, at least. It's not like I posted a pool about who likes Megan Markle or something truly irrelevant.
I too have degrees in software engineering and have been in the field for 22 years. That doesn't make either of us experts in name origins, and it doesn't mean we have to be so technical and textbook definition oriented all the time.Naperville wrote: ↑Sun Jan 01, 2023 1:25 amForums are one example of social media.
I have degrees in information systems and worked in technical support for quite a while in many different capacities.
I have accounts on a few social media sites. They are all different and have their own look and feel to them. The people they attract and the rules that regulate them are all very different.

Apparently your vast amounts of education never included how to interpret "just for fun" or how to look at the true nature of something beyond its dictionary definition.
This isn't a court of law, and you haven't been called as an expert witness. There's no need to preface your opinion with your pedigree.
