Fora are not social media. Fora were here (by 'here' I mean on the Internet) before Myspace and all the crap that followed in its wake (S'witter, Facecrook, Snapshut). A forum is a modernised version of the old BBS's; they're a more permanent and expansive version of the old chat rooms.
Suxial media borrowed features from both fora and chat rooms (and their successors, the Instant Messaging programs/services), whilst adding tons of features of its own, mostly inane, gossipy and snoopy.
Current fora platforms have in turn borrowed some features from suxial media, such as the Like button; but still, an internet forum is NOT social media even if it's formatted to resemble it.

I get all of the info I need here and have done enough damage without additional resources.
Or a page long ramble about something with such bad English that a translator couldn’t follow?
no kidding.
the day I get back on IG is the day I probably start buying ridiculous expensive custom pipes.
i know, but i have noticed they sneak in few pipes here and there. beside, i like looking at pipes
few of my redneck friends just call them dinner.
With the exception of this forum, I've never had the time or inclination to fool with any social media nonsense of any kind, and I don't seem to have any trouble keeping up on pipe/tobacco news or finding whatever I want. Our activities here are commodified in the same way as on FB, but I think we get a decent product in exchange for our information. I have to assume that FB, IG, etc. have the same effect on pipe and tobacco buying that Waze and the like have on traffic patterns. All those idiots end up stuck on the same block looking for the same blends and pipes because they take their orders from technology, and they ruin all the good stuff in the process.
For those trying to boost that they don’t do Social Media, trying to act like they don’t “do” something similar or close to Facebook, Twitter, etc. Buddy this is just rudimentary TwitBox. Get over it. It’s ok. You’ve escaped the wingnuts and the loonbats as well as you can. ?
Well, this forum IS media.
Social might be a stretch at times, but media...ayah.

I get my best info from this site. It is the preeminent pipes site on the web. No one has more content and there are tons of older guys who are willing to share their knowledge.
Well, this is media, and usually fairly social, but I wouldn't lump it in with what most folks think of as "social media".
Have mixed feelings about FB, as I have reconnected with some long lost friends via FB. Yet it pretty much sucks otherwise.
Say, someone asked to see* a photo of what I ate for dinner. Sorry, didn't memorialize it.

PS. Yes, I know it wasn't really a request.

No social media for me. Not before, not now, not ever. The more I learn about it, the better I feel. Forums is social media in a limited sense, but not in the big picture. I learn a lot here on Forums, and from sponsor retail sites, former sponsor retail sites, and paper catalogs they send me, as well as the occasional pipe shop or pipe show visit. After some years of chasing the newest marvel in blends and pipes, I'm more content, often going back to ancient blends like Granger or Three Star Blue and not worrying about unicorn blends or anything else that isn't readily available, except opportunistically, just by luck. In one sense, pipe smoking should be antithetical to fads and group excitement. Step to your own drummer and let the parade pass on by. About social media, I could go on and on. Don't like the founders, don't like the culture, don't like the glimpses of it I see, don't like the friends I've lost who've been gobbled up by it and won't phone, email or mail back, people devoured by the electronic device monster. If this is the future, it's a shame. To former friends, if you screen has devoured you, send location and circumstances by carrier pigeon and I'll try to rescue you.
one time I saw a guy cite Joe Rogan as a definitive expert on a subject Joe Rogan is not an expert on. It was kind of mind blowing.
Making fun of people posting pictures of their dinner on Facebook, while posting what they are smoking in a thread... and photographing their pipe at the same time, ha ha. Lets add in what you're reading, what you're watching, and where you're smoking... Is this not the same thing?
That said, I don't think that Instagram is a very good site for pipe news... unless you're really thinking about buying one of the pipes that one of these hundreds of thousands of carvers on there are making. It is cool to see what Greg Pease is doing, and having him post on one of my posts is sort of exciting in a fanboy sort of way, ha ha. But news.... nah

Now you’re just letting the cat walk on the keyboard.
I generally don't follow recipes when cooking/baking, I just wing it based on ample previous experience. I can link you to one on social media though
