Social Media - which do you use these days?
Posted by grahame at 11:37, 10th February 2026
 
MySpace and Skype are no longer with us ... and others come and go.   If I were to concentrate my public transport posts onto just 2 or 3 social media, which of these would best engage you?

I am very much aware that I am comparing some very different beasts here, and please note that this is a "consultation" and not a promise to use / switch  though I will be informed and guided by the outcome.  Posts and activity on the Coffee Shop are also a specialist social medium, of course, but they will not be effected by the outcome of any vote!

These days I use Signal rather than WhatsApp. I tend to avoid anything with mandatory AI.

I used to be on LinkedIn, but when I retired I deleted it: I was getting irrelevant offers of jobs as a van driver ... in Lincolnshire, for example. 

These days I use WhatsApp on my phone and at home on the computer, and text messages on my mobile when I'm out and about.

I also use e-mail and personal messages on the forum.
