Facebook, mainly to keep track of friends and relatives. I also belong to a couple of private professional groups. And there is some gaming info on Facebook. But I don't really follow news on Facebook except a couple of local Tv station sites.

Twitter, for information. I've found Twitter to be very informative, with a tremendous flow of information from all sides of the ideological and political spectrum and all manner of subjects. And I have it set up to focus on professional issues, mainly in US Army doctrine, that I'm interested in though retired, and for certain sports and for a selected variety of news sources, mostly of the independent variety. It is also a great source for breaking news around the world. I was following the apparent attack on shipping in the Persian Gulf recently nearly from the moment it happened thanks to 3 or 4 breaking news sources I follow. I rarely comment on twitter and totally avoid any argument on any issue. I post responses to a few people on professional matters mainly. I find that any issues Twitter may have regarding censoring or suspending certain individuals are really very minor, with a few high profile individuals making news. And ironically I find the high profile actions seem to bring more attention to the comments made by the individuals than if nothing had been done. John Doe may tweet that aliens from space cause covid, and he may get the post deleted and may get suspended, but I probably wouldn't have even known the tweet existed except for the story about the suspension and John Doe's supporters posting that he was suspended for saying aliens from space cause covid. And that same info is being repeated anyway by dozens or hundreds of people below the Twitter radar. I am aware of the Twitter cancellation mobs, but I seem to avoid reading anyone or anything that generates those mobs. Except for seeing stories about the mobs.

I don't follow any other social media sites. That's enough.

Tumblr. Least obnoxious social media platform - closest in character to internet forums and has some interesting military history blogs.

This week Tim Pool interviewed CEO Jason Miller of GETTR and CEO Andrew Torba of Gab (Timcast IRL channel on YouTube). TL;DR: GETTR is little more lenient than Twitter, but Tim called BS on CEO. Gab has its own server hardware and, with exception of porn, is free speech to full extent of USA Constitution 1A. Minds is also mentioned by its contributor, Ian, at least in Gab CEO interview. I may get more active on Gab :)
