There are just about 2.35 billion monthly Instagram users around the world. That’s a lot of Instagram users! Are you one of them? Do you have an Instagram account? And if so, do you use it often or hardly at all?
If you don’t know, Instagram is a social media platform that is a free photo and video-sharing app. Users upload photos and videos to share with their followers and/or close friends. You can view other people’s photos and videos and “like” and leave comments, much like other social media platforms.
It can also be a great way to discover campsites, hikes, free camping, and more (if you know how to use it. Wink.)
I use it to see my grandchildren. They post their photos and it is how I get them.
Why I’m on FB. I do not post. Did it because my son/DIL & 3 granddaughters moved from 30 miles away to 1500, last year. I can’t expect my DIL to send me all the pictures, although she does text some that do and don’t appear on FB. Have Instagram for a couple of people….again never post.
I don’t have any Social Media, E-Mail and the Telephone are the only media I want and Need.
Social media sites are nothing but ways to put your personal info all over the internet. These sites continuously gather everything you do and are open to hackers and spammers.
Sorry, but I think you are wrong. I will be 80 next week and discovered Facebook about 9 months ago after thinking like you, for years. I am in Arizona and this past week, thanks to Facebook, among many other things, I flew in the cockpit of a Blue Angel jet during an air show, joined, via video, sailors sailing around the world, Went to several horse shows over 1000 miles away from me, toured a 2 and a half million dollar motor home, enjoyed photos of some of the most beautiful sun sets I have ever seen during my eighty years, and enjoyed watching and listening to many great performances if the Mummers Bands from the Pennsylvania area. I do not post anything personal and I do not look for anyone else personal stuff. I have seen and enjoyed so many things that I never would have enjoyed without Facebook and am grateful to those who have shared their experiences with me. Be surprised as I was and check it out.
Don’t have an instagram account nor do I tweet. I do Facebook but Messenger is my primary means of conversing with family, friends, and business.
None. Only email and text.
Agree. that is enough!
Same here.
Same for us, if someone wants to share photos, just text or E-Mail. I think social media is the devil at work and has ruined many people!
This and a RV Forum is the closest thing I have to a social media platform. No time for the false news and drama typical on those platforms.
Yes for 2 reasons: grandkids and the National Park Service
Yes, it has been a great way to share our travel photos with friends and family. It’s fun to look back on our posts of every place we have traveled to. It’s given us a perfect timeline of our travels for the past three years.

Don’t have a Facebook account either.
Don’t have facebook & will not use facebook either.
Social media is part of what is wrong with this country. Kids these days don’t have the ability to carry on a conversation in person anymore. I saw a table of six teenagers at a restaurant communicating with each other via text. It was absolutely ridiculous. Kids, for the most part, get all their info from Google or social media. Get off the screen and have a face to face conversation.
AMEN, Scott, very well stated!
NO and I never will!!!
👍
Yes but, I’m rarely on it.
Sooo, what’s “Instagram”?
I am not really sure but it sounds like a midnight snack that my wife puts together. She opens one of those instant oatmeal packets and sticks it in the microwave then places it on a TV tray with some graham crackers and cocoa. Nice, warm and soothing before bedtime. I did not realize that there were so many people that know about it.
LOL…;)
I do have an account and I picked the middle response. However, the truth is that I rarely open the application on my phone. I have several social media accounts, but they no longer have much, if any, interest for me.
I only use it to see photos of my granddaughter. I’ve never posted a photo.
I don’t have that, Tik Tock, or anything like it. I do e-mail but don’t text.
No Instagram, no Tik Tok, no Facebook, no Twitter. Are there others?
I frequent a couple of RV forums and a US History site. No detailed profiles for the unending number of data criminals in the world to gather personal info from.
No Instagram, no tic tok. I do have twitter but never use it. And it ticks (pun intended) me off when businesses say contact us on Instagram/tic tok/twitter with no email, text or facebook options.
Nope. Don’t want it, don’t need it
Yes, only use it if I’m posting something I cooked, camping at the NASCAR races or the very occasional cell tower upgrade job.
