(This same post is in another thread but I wanted to start a new one here)
I just need some direction as to how to do the same things on one of those social media sites as we regularly do here:
How do we post (on one of those sites) under a user name that is not our own real name?
How do we post (on one of those sites) without giving our e-mail address and knowing it will not be used. Yes, of course, IMDb HAS my e-mail address, but, over the years, I have come to trust that they will only use it to pass on PMs.
How do we have real live interaction on the subject(s) of our choosing, e.g., Classic Film? Politics, etc.
In short, where are we supposed to go to continue what we do here? Where can I find my friends from this site?
I should say I do
all
my posting from a desktop computer in my home.
I am still using a keyboard and mouse.
I have a very large screen which helps me since I have a corneal problem and need the big screen.
I do a lot of copying and pasting while playing the GG.
I just don't know how to do these things from an i-pad or a smart phone.
I use a keyboard and mouse because my fingers are too big and my eyes don't focus on a small smart phone window (it is just too small)
It sore of like what happened circa 2000 to usenet.
Yes, I remember those days too.
At that time, I was using a BB format on Prodigy and the BB format was broken up then too.
When Prodigy was no longer available, I found I could still do Bulletin Boarding from the IMDb (If you click on my user ID, you will see that I have been on the IMDb for 14 years).
So the question remains:
Where can I go now and still do (there) what I have been doing here?
I am on FB too. But, FB gives me no anonymity and cramps my comments by making be feel as though, if I say the wrong thing, all my Friends and Family may see me in a different (perhaps negative) way. I like to keep some degree of anonymity while politely interacting with people
who share my interests on some subject
. FB does not give me that anonymity. I don't know about other social media apps. Which do and which don't?
What about the FB site for the IMDbisn't it linked into my e-mail address automatically?
Could we all go over there and still be able to play with Classic Film trivia and games (like the GG)?
Will the re-structured IMDb still allow us to post (and read) user reviews?
I CAN adapt to new conditions, but I need a little help from my friends.
I likeand always have likedactive Bulletin Boards.
Where are they in the suggested social media?
