Which one do you like more.. Facebook or Twitter?
And is there anyone who doesn't use these at all?

    Neither. I have Twitter but only to follow my favourite authors etc. Oh and to make sure I messed up ex's successfully. So far, so good.

    I don't use Facebook at all. Never trusted Zuckerberg et al
    I have twitter primarily as a tweep (mainly following news sites)

    I have no social media. I've actually been off Facebook officially a year tomorrow! I haven't missed it to be honest, I don't need all the crap, negativity and fakeness. I talk to my actual friends.

    I deleted insta not long after Facebook. Don't really miss that either.

    IMO, social media sites drive many people to too many stupid conclusions without objectively looking at ALL the facts first hand. While I do have FB, I don't do a lot posting on it compared to here. And most of my posts are usually to say hi to friends or wishing Happy Birthdays.

    I hate twitter & I'm not a super fan of facebook, it has it's bright spots of usefulness, but all of the people in my VW group migrated from our forum on to facebook. So I manage that group on there & that's the main reason I have one. I think stuff like this has killed a lot of personal/face to face social interaction.

    I have had FB since the days when it was only able to be used by college kids as a networking tool (so early 2006 or so). I don't post much there and only really continue to use it to interact with my family as I am usually thousands of miles away from the nearest family member.

    I tried Twitter and discovered that I loathe it.. and given the numerous tweets I've seen cited in articles the last several years, I'd say my decision to delete that account was a good one.

    I probably should get Instagram (since I'm a visual artist), but honestly I fail to see the point.

    I use FB for family, friends and some dog rescue stuff. I'm a psychotherapist and use Twitter only for work (keeping in touch with posts from professional organisations or regulating bodies, conferences/events, research etc). Don't use Snapchat or Instagram or any others.

    I have twitter, for the main purpose of being able to get my opinion in on Ink Master...but I end up not even bothering. I follow a few things for entertainment purposes, but I have to be really bored to even check it.

    Neither and I had Twitter very briefly before I deleted it years ago. I have two Facebooks, one for Tinder and Bumble and the other one (my primary one) to get in contact with someone before I delete it again. I don't even like using Facebook, I feel like it's boring and has too much drama and sht I don't care about.

    I generally use Facebook for family, Instagram for friends, and Twitter for news and current events info. I haven't been on Twitter since before November 2016.

    I use FB for friends and family and to see a few fun memes here and there. Twitter for the geek in me... I rarely post there but read it semi regularly.

    I don't have either. I deleted my real Facebook about 4 years ago. I made a fake FB profile since a FB profile is needed to sign into certain apps.

    I'm much happier since my wife and I deactivated our Facebook accounts in 2013.
    I still use Twitter, but only for finding news articles.

    Wife loves Pinterest.
    We both like LinkedIn.

    All the social media sites are really odd unless you use it enough with consistency to find it's usefulness and personality, and tune out noise, and unplug sometimes, and each system actually very cool in their own unique way.
