Social media presence as in having accounts in your name with you being visible in the profile picture in mainstream sites (Anything Meta, Twitter, Snapchat, Tiktok…). I don’t consider anynounmous accounts on Lemmy, Reddit, Kbin relevant to the scope of this question.
It hasn’t for me.
Same for me. Keeping in touch with friends is easy enough with my phone and discord. Hasn’t affected my dating life in anyway or hindered my ability to meet new people in general either. I’m 34 for reference. I had Facebook when I was much younger but haven’t used it in years
Wait. So you’re using social media to tell us how happy you are that you don’t use social media? 🤔
Did you actually read the OP? OP is talking about specific kinds of social media that exclude Lemmy among others.
I was just playing. I thought it was funny.
Guess you thought wrong!
🤷🏻♂️
Aren’t Lemmy, kbin, Reddit etc. just web forums?
Social media is a very specific type of product that (at least partially) tries to base itself on your ‘real’ social life.
This is anonymous and has no effect on my social life. I have no social media presence under my real name.
