In addition to Facebook - we have THIS PLACE. Surprised it didn't have more clicks.

And I still participate on the old Delphi Forums, although they are losing people fast.
Newsgroups are almost extinct.

I like environments where it's encouraged to discuss - not shoot out a phrase and disappear.

what about communication 'platforms' ?
I suppose this is just another social media platform ....
I do not see these Apps that way

Yahoo Groups are getting little to no traffic, too.

There's a problem with Yahoo Groups. I've attempted to join a few in the last six months and continue to get errors in the Join Request form. I've even emailed the owners to ask to join. Sometimes the email get kicked back for failure to deliver. This is even when I can see the group is still active. Some googling have pointed out that even the Group owners cannot invite people to join.

There is zero tech support for the Groups. Especially since the big Yahoo data breach and the resulting fire sale of business components.

Explain to me why you would use any of those instead of texting or email? FBM, I'm guessing because that's how your FB friends message you, but the others are *just* messaging services, aren't they?

I'm not a big social media user. I run them down daily to see what the kids are up to, but I can't see the point of Twitter or Instagram unless you're some celebrity with a huge following.

An organization to which I have belonged for nearly 20 years has several groups on the Yahoo service, looking to migrate.

Good for them. Google has Groups but it doesn't appear that there are many using it yet.

I'm about ready to drop Yahoo altogether. I've had Yahoo Mail forever, but it's gotten so slow in the past year that I find it almost unusable.

I am of course not a celebrity but I love Istagram for the gorgeous photos some users share. Things like natgeotravel, US National Parks, some restaurants I enjoy as well as some flower growers I know of are posting such beauty each day. I love it

I've had Yahoo Mail for about as long as they've had the service, same email address the whole time, too.
