I admit I still participate in other social media, specially for my interests. I really enjoy reading about other people's problems and helping them out by sharing my knowledge and experience about things like knitting, cloth diapering, parenting, yarn stuff and so on.

Sometimes it feels like talking to a void or becoming a drowned out voice among hundreds. I may get a like or, at best, a comment reply saying thank you.

Part of me enjoys spending the time but there's a part of me that knows that it is just a time sink and a waste. I'm not building actual community or relationships. They can't even zap me to show appreciation.
