    so·cial me·di·a
    /ˌsōSHəl ˈmēdēə/

    1. websites and applications that enable users to create and share content or to participate in social networking.

    So, how much does social media (e.g. Twitter, Novel Updates Forum, Discord, Facebook etc.) affect your real life?

    I hate fb because of hand and arm slashers who gave me horrific scenes of their self harm they did for a bunch of likes. Social media also taught me how different a person can be irl and when they are online thinking no one can judge them.

    A necessary sacrifice for the sake of discussion. You sacrifice will maybe not be in vain.

    Uh... This, my discord and like 3 twitch channels are pretty much the only social media I use. I go on facebook for a single friend of mine who occasionally posts memes. I suppose if you count RRL and SH, though, they've had a pretty big impact on my life?

    I mostly use facebook messenger, youtube and NU/NUF.
    Then maybe nhentai, fanfox, mangadex and tsumino.

    I rarely open facebook ever since the fucking auto play doesnt turn off even if you put it off on settings.

    Barely any effect at all. I've been the same since childhood, always indoors and looking on the computer screen.
