Quit social media in 2014 but I did keep it because I didn't grow up in a single place so I have friends throughout the world and it's the best way to keep in touch with family/friends even though I rarely ever check it. Facebook to me has become somewhere I go on the last week of the year talk to a few old friends and exes wish my "friends" merry christmas and do a little catching up before forgetting about it for the next year.
Not checking it everyday has really improved my mental health. All it does is makes you feel like you're missing out, be it from a party or a trip and the constant need to update it also makes you experience less of those things.
Man you're pedantic and probably someone who lives 2 miles from where you grew up. I have a brother who just had a new born living in a different continent. So I should write 2-4 week letters to him because some schizo online demands I never use social media? Or do I keep my social media profile I made 15 years ago which i hardly ever use to see pictures he has posted of my first nephew?
Social media is a great tool when it's used for what it was meant to be. It's a shitty tool when you base your opinion and get your news off of it. Just like a gun the danger is not the gun but the person wielding it.
When I meet a girl from france travelling I should ask for her address her phone number and email or just add her on whichever social media she uses?
You don’t understand what social media actually is, which is fine, it is a complex topic. If you’d like to know what social media actually is, I can lay it all out for you here but will take me some time.
To be concise, removing social media from your relationships with your loved ones is one of the absolute healthiest things you can do for said relationships.
Longer answer if you want it just ask please. I’ll take the time if you care to read it.
No, I do not feel awkward. Your post lacked clarity and read like that of a social media apologist.
But thank you for clarifying otherwise. Hopefully more people will see the light in 2021 and leave those services far behind.
Same goes for legacy MSM. The Great Awakening is here, but there are a lot of people still lost in the sea of propaganda.

“It is how I keep in touch” is an awful excuse.
Call, write, visit. Getting in touch is trivially easy.
