Inspired by a comment in another thread, what was the path you took over your life, through the various online social media we’ve had?
By way of example, I started in Yahoo chatrooms, to a little bit of Myspace and private forums, to ICQ and IRC, to no online socials for awhile, to facebook, to 4chan, to reddit, ending up here on lemmy.
I’ve never used twitter, insta, tiktok, etc for any length of time.
If you’d like, your native language and a rough estimate of your age can be included for additional context.


In order: IRC (very briefly), MSN Messenger, Ultimate-Guitar forums, Facebook, Reddit, Lemmy.
MSN and U-G forums was peak internet era for me.
Deleted my FB account in 2017, migrated to Lemmy with the mass Reddit exodus when they fucked with the API. Permanently deleted my account that day.
Do you still use UG?
I do, but I assume there may be better options out there now.
Yup. I still post tabs on there every once in a while. Did a bunch of Enslaved tabs in the past couple years.
