Perhaps you're just not friends. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] mika_mika@lemmy.world 19 points 6 months ago (1 child) I moved to a new town recently. People don't give out their phone numbers to connect. They give out their FB and Instagram accounts. Not having either is perceived as weird. Hope this helps. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] lemmylump@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago* (3 children) You're in a fucked up town., and that attachment to the platform is more fucked up. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] Ulrich@feddit.org 5 points 6 months ago It's all fucked up but that's just reality. permalink fedilink source parent [–] edible_funk@sh.itjust.works 4 points 6 months ago (1 child) Unfortunately that's like most people outside. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] mika_mika@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago Facebook is something most people have and use to connect because most people don't care about the privacy invasions or manipulative algorithms.

I've moved 3 times in the past 10 years and it's all the same. Maybe people used Snapchat or Instagram more often than Facebook when I was younger but it's all the same privacy invasive shit. The majority tolerate it, that's why Meta is so successful as a company. Hope this helps. permalink fedilink source parent
