As I approach the end of my life, two things of which I am enormously proud is that...

[NNadir]

...I never signed up for Twitter, and I never signed up for Facebook.

I may have lost face, but at least I can say I'm not a twit.

It made life worth living.

[SayItLoud]

1. Add this: You helped defeat tRUMP! NT

[NNadir]

2. Happily, 81 million Americans can say the same.

These are the Americans worth discussing.

[Skittles]

3. you are not alone

I'm not on Twitter, and I was never sucked into the FB Borg

[Deuxcents]

4. Me, too

My grandkids have begged but I still say nope. I’m happy here and I appreciate the twitter updates. Life is good

[empedocles]

5. Ditto

[luv2fly]

6. Fist bumps all around

For the no-FB and no-Twitterers!

[Butterflylady]

7. Add me in. Never even wanted to bother.

[cayugafalls]

8. Congrats.

I've been involved in tech for 50 years and have been logged into all sorts of systems.

I know their pitfalls and shortcomings. I liken those tools as similar to a knife. A knife is sharp and not for little kids or people inclined to clumsiness. Yet, a skilled Chef can wield a knife and produce some great outcomes.

I prefer to master the available tools and wield them in such a way as to enhance my life while avoiding the nicks and cuts a less skilled operator would most likely inflict.

[llmart]

9. Me either.

I would add one more thing to my list - I have never in my 71 years voted for a Republican.

[yonder]

10. I'm glad to stand with you as a member of that club.

[niyad]

11. Same here!

[Locrian]

12. I applaud you !

At the risk of being taken the wrong way - I would encourage you to understand just what exactly it's doing to people even if you "dont go there"

It's not just that it's a waste of time, anxiety, etc. It's a force that is maliciously creating personal - non shared alternate realities for people. It's part of what is ripping this country apart.

EXCELLENT interview here on what "social media" is doing.

It's important to realize it is not *just* facebook and twitter, youtube, google, etc all contribute in some way.

[Coventina]

13. Yep. No way will I ever join Facebook or Twitter.

[Ferrets are Cool]

14. Well, some of us twits don't have much of a choice...

most of my clients use FB, so that means I must have an account.

[lambchopp59]

15. Got bullied off BookFace, got kicked off Twitter. I give up on "social media".

I'm 61. My brother, ten years older than I, bemoans that I won't do BookFace again. RWNJ's drove me right out of there back when they were posting horrible, racist memes of President Obama. I asked them to please stop. Worst mistake I ever made on the intertubes.
Nice, safe, sensible D.U..
I visit here often.

[oldsoftie]

16. Now all the butt hurt are going to MeWe & Parler. Where they can hear themselves.

And never worry about their fake shit being removed

[Mr.Bill]

17. Same here.

I also have never sent a text and have a 15 year old cellphone.

[BigmanPigman]

18. Neither have I.

Also, my parents and sister never did either.

[fierywoman]

19. Neither have I.

[DownriverDem]

20. I have signed up for both

and enjoy them both. I have met some fine folks that lean left like me. I'm also found out who lean the other way.

[Warpy]

21. I didn't like Facebook's business plan

so there was no way I was signing up for that.

I signed up for Twitter only because it can be interesting when there's a major world story going on, like the uprising in Iran or the Haiti earthquake. Otherwise, I leave it for the twits and teenagers.

I've managed to ignore Instagram, too.

[Ron Obvious]

22. Same here

For years, I felt like Cassandra prophesying societal doom because of social media but it seems the tide is turning just a bit lately.

The world would be a better, happier place if I were made benevolent supreme emperor of the universe and everyone listened to me.
