Not great for someone like Sirbalon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber Pyfish+ 2,773 Posted September 18, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted September 18, 2019 The social networks aren't the best for debate at all. Most use them and make stupid comments just for the likes. Now I've said that, it's not too dissimilar to here. SHOW ME THE LIKES. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber Viva la FCB+ 2,547 Posted September 18, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted September 18, 2019 Maybe Im the last of a dying breed but I dont have any form of social media. This and Reddit are basically as close as I get and Reddit is mostly a cesspool that I rarely comment on, just use for keeping up to date more or less. So basically this is it; and even then I mostly browse while im on the shitter or at work throughout the day. I think thats partly what makes this so great is its different things to different people, you can engage as much or as little as you please on all sorts of things outside of sports even. I remember last season we had a guy in the Bundesliga prediction league that literally only posted to keep up to date in that, and thats perfectly fine! I do like the new thread title though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber nudge+ 15,325 Posted September 18, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted September 18, 2019 In the end it's all about how you use it... Twitter can be great if you're looking for information on specific topics and stay in that niche instead of just reading random shite. Same with Reddit. Facebook is generally shite but can also be very useful (e.g. local groups for sharing information; certain interest groups etc). None of them were created for the (primary) purpose of debating though so forums will always have an advantage there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber CaaC (John)+ 5,358 Posted September 19, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted September 19, 2019 I only use Facebook talking to friends and family as a closed group only plus I help my Man United buddy run a Man United Football Forum as an Admin but it's a closed group with members-only selected by me and my buddy, any shit from a member then he/she is given the boot. Facebook was ok when it first started but over the years it did go down the pan a bit, as for Twitter and Instagram I only use for football info as it comes in handy but even that has gone down the pan over the years.
