      I’ve been told I must be a serial killer multiple times because I don’t have instagram.

      I have killed several people but it’s not because I don’t have instagram.

      Same. Whatsapp. The market has become so fragmented that it’s all about social clout and what you can compel others to install just to talk to your sorry ass.

        I actually use WA a lot. Most of my family doesn’t live in the same country I do and I have quite a few friends in different countries. Texting is not an option for us.

        But Instagram, as far as I know, is just a platform to post pictures. I don’t care about my own pictures or pictures of others.

      Aren’t your friends meant to also use Lemmy for it to count as social media?

      No one I know knows what Lemmy is.

          I would argue that a forum is a type of social media. It’s very different in that it’s as anonymous as you want it to be. But it is still a place where people visit for the purpose of socializing

      I read the meme in the way that it feels like telling people you’re not on social media since you’re on none they know.

      Also: is Facebook really still a thing?

    I quit a few years ago. Super liberating, but after 2 years of practically nobody jumping on Signal with me, and being left out of friend group chats, I settled on “Facebook lite” for my phone. I dont post, or scroll the feed. Just available for chats.

    I have them for whenever I have the need to comment on something but my pages are mostly empty with fake info. My display pics are random stuff nearby like a closeup of my carpet, the wall, or something on desk.

    I definitely would unfriend most of my friends if I would see their Instagram or facebook stories. Good for them, I don’t watch their garbage.
