Favorite social media site(s)?
It isn't social, really, since you can be on it and not interact with anyone besides reblogging (or liking) their posts. Which is great as far as I'm concerned. No arguments. But if you want to you can add a reply when you reblog a post, or you can private message, so it's social for some. Lots of autistic folks, at least in some parts of it.
I was thinking about making a Tumblr account but not sure if I can be bothered starting over and meeting yet another load of new internet people.
But yes, don't leave us!
What is the point of Tumblr then? Isn't it social media where people are supposed to be social? Sorry, I'm confused.

Tumblr is for making a diary of sorts of content that you have on your own Tumblr display, and consuming the content of others, simply to pass the time of day, as far as I am aware. I haven't visited the site in many years, however, so things might be a bit different.

What's the ratio of trolls and bots on Tumblr? That's what I'm concerned about: dealing with an onslaught of trolls.
I joined Reddit and I have to be careful dodging trolls, I only post about Neighbours there. I had to turn off my follower button on there because naked women advertising their blogs kept following me

That's really helpful information Bee, thanks.
I probably wouldn't make friends on Tumblr, I'm far too old at 54 for the young crowd.
Another one people recommend is Dreamwidth, what's that like?

I have never heard of Dreamwidth. But it sounds like a more niche offering.
I think Dreamwidth has an older fanbase, that's all I can see as a difference, and it's an older structure.

Have you considered Autism Forums as an alternative to Wrong Planet?
It is also a forum for autistic folk, but sometimes has activity when these forums do not. I have only made a few posts over there, but here is the website:
https://www.autismforums.com/
on YT and Pinterest I comment on things, but I don't upload my stuff. I've been thinking about making a new YT channel out of boredom but idk. Pinterest is more of a boredom-reducing/brain-numbing tool for me.
I also use Ibis Paint's built-in art sharing service, and I guess that counts as social media by traditional means but not to me personally.
UPDATE: I have joined The 'blr (Tumblr). I've had other accounts in the past that I stopped using for one reason or another, but I think I really did miss Tumblr. I can talk about my hyperfixes and anyone who comes across my blog will listen and it feels nice. I mostly reblog but some of my original posts have gotten some attention. (I made a post about how much I love Prompto Argentum from FFXV [I started playing the other night and my brain immediately latched onto him because he's Silly and Attractive] and it has like 14 notes, and I drew Lauriam from KHUX and it has 13 notes. 14 and 13 aren't very big numbers in terms of social media, but it makes me happy that that many people care.) Also had someone give me a link to an archive of Splatoon manga dubs I had been looking for, that's the other nice thing about that site. If you're looking for something on the internet and are having trouble finding it, you can make a post asking and someone will give you what you're looking for. I also remember on one of my previous accounts I had made a post asking if anyone had a code to Toyhouse (idk how to describe TH it's like an OC info storage thingy? my fellow artists with OCs probably know what I'm talking about but you need an invite code for it and googling "Toyhouse invite code" doesn't heed very many results) and even offered to make some art in exchange, but a little while later I got an anon ask from someone just giving me a code. I remember it really made my day and I shall be forever grateful for that anon, whoever they may be, even though I don't really use TH because it's kind of confusing to use.

Ooh, DW is nice! I don't use it really for the interacting aspect, it's just me and my journal that nobody looks at even though it's public... I kinda like that for some reason though. I'm sure you could meet some people on there if you tried though, I'm just not sure how to use it properly.
