Social Media in ZNA

Throughout ZNA, ElmorePlus has been the most prominent social media platform where stories, news, videos and other media has been posted. However, despite ElmorePlus being a stand in parody of twitter in some regards, twitter has also been very prominent in ZNA as well. Instagram was very prominent in early chapter 1 but was phased out slowly.

Social Media in ZNA is much like Social Media irl, and in one way shape or form has appeared in every season.

Social Media Forms
ElmorePlus - The Classic Parody of Twitter originating from TAWOG, ElmorePlus is a platform used by a decent amount of ZNA characters. In ZNA it has been used to send memes, spread information among followers/mutuals, “ratio” other mutuals, interact with posts, post current statuses, etc. Iconic Characters with ElmorePlus in ZNA are of course The Wattersons, Zeamy, Rob, Vance, Bakugo, Eugene, Lola, and formerly Bugs. Naturally it’s the least populated social media platform but it’s the most prominent social media platform in ZNA. It debuted in Season 5 of ZDBA, as the introduction of Zach makes both Instagram and ElmorePlus the “trendy” platforms around the Jorino Era. In "Cancel The Zone" Keemstar makes the Drama Alert on Zeamy in the ElmorePlus platform and the news being spread at such a fast rate proves the fame of the platform.

Google+ - The Infamous Google Social Networking Platform, Google+ was the obscure platform that only has ZNA involvement because of Zeamy. It was shut down on April 2nd, 2019, even before ZNA launched. But through Zeamy’s nostalgia, he on occasion mentions Google+ to reference the days when he used to be the Youtube animator “DiscoDiamond”.

Twitter - In ZNA, Twitter has Involvement in almost every Season. Originating from Early Chapter 1, Characters like Dio and Zeamy used to offend each other all the time by claiming certain twitter accounts were actually one of their own. Throughout Chapter 1, Twitter was in the most highlight through the multiple accounts Vance had through the souls that possessed him, and the constant back and forth they would have with Deamy in the Second Half of the Chapter. Most Tweets on Twitter in ZNA are usually real as they come straight from FPP’s and DreamyZone’s threads and Dms, though as of both of their twitter leaves, Twitter tweets have been artificially made or are preserved through screenshots. Some DMs are Canon, while others are Uncanon Commentary. Most characters in ZNA with electronics have twitters, Vance though is infamously known for being on bad terms with Twitter and has canonically left twitter by the “Algernon Saga”.

Instagram - The American Photo and Video Sharing Social Networking Service, Instagram was quite prominent in ZNA. In ZNA it’s specifically where characters most message each other in DMs, as opposed to Discord or Twitter. It originates in Season 2 of Chapter 1 when Vance shares screenshots of his conversations with Algernon, Dave, Ross, Trump, Maki, and the other “Black Dudes”. It is the most socially admired as it is portrayed as the most superficial back in the Jorino Era where Jojo and his friends bragged about followers and “Bad Bitches '' that he obtained there. It appears again in the Chapter 1 Finale, where “Baby Nut” shows Deamy and Eugene dms between Reggie and Chick Hicks where the latter is being lied to that he will have intercourse with a female. Instagram isn’t that strong in ZNA anymore, though it does have small involvement, in Chapter 3 more Instagram interactions are seen such as Vance simping for “Mami '' in filler, Zeamy eagerly commenting on a photo of Kumin’s nails, and Zeamy noticing missed messages from the IG Zeamy Gang Groupchat.

Tumblr - Tumblr has never been physically shown, though it has been comedically referenced here and there. Zeamy comments that he used to have a Tumblr and that he left Tumblr a bit after beating Rem, fearing the backlash that could come with it.

Snapchat - The Least Popular Social Media Platform in ZNA, it only has a couple mentions in the series and it’s highlight was back in the Jorino Era. Bugs and Jorino used to have a snapchat up till their deaths. Vance apparently had one back in his “Incel” phase, directly saying in the “Boyfriend Stealer Arc” that he owed an E-Girl $300 for private videos. Deamy got an IG around Season 4 simply to try finding women to get with to appease the constant verbal abuse from Jojo and friends.

Reddit - Reddit originates sometime before “Zeamy Gang: Saving Filthy Frank”, as Vance tells the story of Filthy Frank through it. It becomes Vance’s home of degeneratish, groomer inspired, and communist actions, mostly throughout the “Boyfriend Stealer Arc”. He inspires a whole load of Redditors around the U.S. though it comes to bite him back as his actions indirectly cause a divide between Redditors and Kpoppers. By the end of the Arc Vance learns that the Redditors, just as fast as they became fans of him, can just as fast disassociate with him.
