Do you find that since social media has become popular there are less forums?

I remember when there were a lot of forums online like Mylot but once social media became popular there weren't that many anymore. I like forums like Mylot. Do you prefer social media over forums?

My preference is forum. Because you know what? These days social media become like a marketplace and it's rarely share about something that can increase your knowledge

Personally it is the first time that I use a forum, the truth is I prefer social networks because they allow me to interact more intimately and quickly, for example, memes are a form of funny interaction that does not require much effort, while participation in the forums I think it has to be more complete.

No preference for me. I just come and go. Mostly I go on social media to check on news.

It has become a way to get news these days. That's where I get a lot of my news from too.

I prefer forums since there is usually someone to control the rowdy writers that are on Twitter and Facebook.

I would say I prefer forums. You have moderators who are there to keep the forums clean. There is much trash on social media

Yeah, it can be but it depends on what groups you are in and who is on your friends list. I try to keep positive people on mine. I keep mine pretty clean.

You don't see them like that since social media. Some of them have been abandoned the messages are so old because no one has been commenting.

Would you say you prefer Mylot to social media?

I guess I prefer Mylot since this is the only forum that I am participating right now. I am also active in Facebook but that was just for communication purposes, connecting with my friends and relatives here in our country and abroad. Though FB helped me a lot when it comes to communications and connecting with people, I still prefer Mylot.

Beginning today, I won't be active in FB and other social media, I will always be here.

@pahak627 Sometimes it can be overwhelming to keep up with all of these social media accounts.

@MoonMaa Sometimes opening social media may hinder what I am doing since there are interesting posts that we could not skip.

I like Mylot too. Sometimes I like to get a break from FB and come here. I like to switch it up.
