When it comes to social media, I use Reddit most, followed by Facebook, then Instagram, and finally Twitter. I only tend to use Twitter when a fast-breaking news story happens. I have Snapchat but only use it when people send me Snaps. I don’t have TikTok. I don’t use YouTube often either. I am a reader rather than a watcher, which means I prefer blogs and books to videos and films.
I like Reddit because it is largely text-based, and the general discussions seem so much more intelligent than on Facebook. People in the subreddits I follow can’t get away with spreading fake news or making statements and not being able to back them up. There is hardly ever any arguing, and humour tends to prevail. I guess that all depends on which subs you join though.
My favourite subreddits are
- Murdered by Words (see photos below)
- Humans being Bros
- Contagious laughter
- Today I Learned
- Am I the Asshole
- We Want Plates
- Choosing Beggars (see photo above)
- Malicious Compliance
- Petty Revenge
- Dad for a Minute
Other ones I pop into from time to time are
- I Don’t Work Here Lady
- Tales from the front desk/your server/tech support/retail (each one is a separate subreddit)
- Bridezillas
- Just No Mil
- Entitled People
