Challenges meeting new people without an Instagram account (lemmy.zip)

I’ve been trying to meet new friends and new people to hang out with so have been going to a lot of social events.

I noticed that everyone seems to ask for my instagram account and when I say I don’t have one that connection kind of dies, and it feels too personal to ask for someone number when I just met them.

I don’t want to create an instagram because of the privacy invasions of meta but I also don’t want to feel left out when trying to make new connections. Anyone have any advice?

For the kind of people that use IG handles as a way to keep in contact, do you truly think you can say "Oh, I only have Mastadon" and even have them know what you're talking about?
