Interesting question. I'd say mostly personal stuff (FB), some article sharing on translation groups on FB, logistics and article sharing on theatre groups (I translate plays and sometimes act in them).
Insta is mostly for posting outrage about political stuff. So, this question interests me because I've now come full circle to using email to actually communicate, watching movies instead of being online, and reading. This was what I did till more or less 2005. I experience total exhaustion seeing the tailored feed and now want to shrink my world. Physical travel, writing postcards, poems (bad ones are better than not writing), and all kinds of reading choices dominate - Spanish popular science magazine, new graphic novels, 20th century poets in a few different languages, new work from India. It is completely ok to not be in touch for weeks or months on end even amongst friends. I'd say more but I prefer to write in my diary. Regards.
