That's objectively poor survey design. For questions like that there should always be an 'Other' option. There should also be a 'None' or 'N/A' option.

    A radio presenter this morning was talking like we all have Instagram, I found that incredibly annoying.

    Not to mention one person having multiple accounts for different purposes and business accounts. Instagram is big, no doubt, but not 2 billion users big

    I first questioned why two billion cats have Instagram accounts, then realized there can't be 2 billion Egyptian Maus in all the world, much less on Instagram.

    I tried to use it, but honestly without an algorithm, it's simply an empty page. And I don't want to follow hashtags, since there's usually too much semi-relevant garbage linked to those. So either I have a curated feed of only the people I follow, which gets boring, or I got nothing at all.

    You can follow other people. My Pixelfed isn’t empty.

    I kind of like the boring aspects of it. I scroll through the feed to the end of new stuff, and then i’m done for the day. It’s a bit like I treat emails. I do miss the inspo of the sewing and knitting community of instagram, though.

    That’s what I’m on. I need to take all the picture off my Instagram.

    I was thinking the same thing. But if this was a survey specifically for social media, there wouldn’t be a N/A option except at the beginning to make you not have to continue further and waste your time and theirs. (Survey for getting users’ input on social media use, etc.)

    But definitely agreed on other. There are so many social media sites out there.

    There's way more social media than these options. Where's?

    Reddit
    4chan
    Lemmy
    Mastodon
    Bluesky
    Forums
    Discord
    YouTube
    Patreon
    Medium
    Steam
    Whatsapp
    Pornhub
    VRchat

    Some of these are very very popular. Asking people their social media habits, and preventing people on most social media from answering, will produce garbage biased data. I hope this study fails peer review and the PhD student responsible flunks.
