I like to use Facebook to stay connected with my friends and family members, but I also use TikTok to watch short videos and sometimes long videos. Twitter is another social media site that I use often, along with Tumblr and Reddit. However, I don’t consider Reddit to be a social media site; it’s more of a forum!

What about you? What social media sites do you like to use?
 
I mainly use social to promote my hiking brand. I use Facebook, X, IG, Threads, and YouTube.

I stay away from TikTok. It's one big China "weather" balloon, IMO.
 
I have social media accounts with X, Facebook, Truth Social, MeWe and BlueSky for doing my posts for my business and for FP. I think X probably gets the most attention though, but I really don't know.
 
That's interesting! You seem to have a good mix of platforms for connecting with people and consuming content. I've always found the debate about Reddit being a social media or a forum fascinating.

I primarily use Facebook, X, and LinkedIn. While I do enjoy exploring other platforms, these are the ones that best suit my needs and interests.
 
I've never had luck with Reddit.

How can you utilize it without being seen as a spammer?

Find subreddits that allow you to post links and make relevant posts that go with the flow of the conversation.

The rules of a subreddit are generally found under the “community info” tab.
 
I really don't like to use none of them. I use FB for my business, but not much for personal use. It's so full of scammers that I find it difficult to make business.
I spend more time screening out the bad actors than the actual clients I get. (it has been a big waste of time for me)

What is your business? Would it be more effective to move to something like LinkedIn?

One of my business is mainly for locals (FerranosFarm .com ) It redirects to my farm page. And due to much scams, I started EggsNearby .com (a classified site for farmers and Homesteaders)

I don't know much about LinkedIn, but I perceive it more for "online" business?

LinkedIn is good for B2B IMO, Business to Business networking. That could work for your Eggs Nearby brand.

For EggsNearby, I plan some time next year to make an LLC and make an aggressive advertising campaign (locally to conquer one area/city at a time). It's easier when backed up with a legal entity to be able to promote it everywhere. But I plan to make it "the place to go" about farm related stuff marketplace. I have already big influencers(farms) waiting for it, but they want it to be a legal company for them to back me up. So, good stuff are coming towards that project.
 
I get it.

I have several LLCs, liability insurance, too.

My Hiking with Shawn brand is an LLC, insured and federally trademarked.
 
I've not used many of the crypto/web3 networks yet.

Bluesky reminds me of the old Twitter days. I really like their interface. I have an account on Mastodon too, but I haven’t used it that much yet.

Are a lot of people using these networks?
 
Bluesky now has 12 million members according to this article by Socialmediatoday:

Bluesky Gains Momentum in the Wake of X’s Blocking Changes

Could this be the momentum shift that Bluesky needs?
www.socialmediatoday.com www.socialmediatoday.com

The Twitter-like app moved into the top five most downloaded apps on the U.S. App Store, while it also saw big gains in Japan, Thailand, and Taiwan as well, along with various other regions.

Bluesky further reported that it gained more than 1.2 million users in just two days.

Bluesky currently has around 12 million total users, but has seen a couple of big spikes in interest of late, first fueled by X’s ban in Brazil, and now in the wake of its blocking changes
 
I have stopped using my personal Facebook account because I want peace of mind. Now, I only use my freelancing Facebook account to find job opportunities and showcase my online freelancing services. Currently, my favorite platform is TikTok; I enjoy the informative and entertaining videos available there. However, I don’t spend too much time on TikTok because of my online job.

I stay as far away from TikTok as I can.

I use other social media for by online brand. I rare post on my personal Facebook aside from family pictures here and there.
