I use my social media just as I have since Day 1, that is when Facebook was only available to college students with a verifiable college email address
(I was a freshman in college when FB still did this!) I look, read, notice, take in, but rarely participate. I don't use social media to voice my political opinions, my lunch every day, or much of my personal business. I almost never share articles I'm reading either. I mostly post snarky pics of my dog, random things that visually caught my interest, a rare group pic of me and the girls before we go out...that's seriously about it. I only have facebook, instagram, and sometimes use snapchat for the occasional inside joke pics between my best friends, BF, and brothers. I don't do twitter, never have. I'm always on pinterest when bored with those 3 but I don't consider that "social" media as I'm not really interacting with anyone.
When I'm looking thru FB and insta, I follow quite a few companies, people/artists, a couple celebrities, and various organizations of my interests (Country Living Magazine, Miranda Lambert, many photographers, Tinder Nightmares, etc.) so I'm not just stalking my friends constantly
I'm not someone who "likes" everything, even if I actually like it. I'll like my close friends' posts...that's it. Same for comments. I'm a visual person so I enjoy looking at everything, following people that do the same. I genuinely like looking/reading fun things. I don't like when my newsfeed is full of serious things and arguments. I read several news venues almost every morning before I start work for that.
But I'm the same way in person: I'm a people-watcher. I'll go to a party, lightly socialize and then have more fun watching everyone else
But to summarize, I am on my phone quite often using these apps but leaving a very small social media footprint.
