Can 一応ね be understood to mean "...just socially."?


I found this example on lang-8, and wonder if anyone could clarify the use of
一応ね here:

> A: Are you going on Facebook or Twitter?
>
> B: Just socially.
>
> A: FacebookとかTwitterやってる？
>
> B: 一応ね。

When I look up 一応 on tangorin I get:

> いちおう ichiou 【一応 · 一往】 adverb: once; tentatively; in outline; for the time
> being; just in case; so far as it goes
>
> 過去問がもしあるならば一応目を通すほうがいいと思います。 If there are past exam questions then I think
> it would be best to give them a quick look over.

I asked the original writer (native speaker) and he said that the translation
was the meaning in his use of the phrase. Does this meaning exist in common
usage and if so is the meaning as specific as the english phrase, "just
socially?"




No. This is a paraphrase, that only works because of the context.

As I wrote in [this answer](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/a/3607/315), 一応
can be understood as "tentatively, not to the full extent". That can be
interpreted here as "I'm not completely using them all the time, not totally
invested in the whole thing, but nevertheless I _am_ on those services for
what that's worth" ...so, "just casually" or "just socially".

There's no special meaning in play here.
