Is it weird to not have a social media presence

[greymagick]

I have found that the most activity in response to conspiracy-related posts are coming from X and Reddit.  Those are the dominant social media in regards to sharing personal opinions and thoughts on all subjects, including subreddits of conspiracy information.  Conspiracy forums such as ATS and DI are obviously going the way of the dinosaurs.  X and Reddit seem to be the way to go, as well as Discord and some others, but mostly the popular social media.  And if you want to get through to the youngest generations, not sure they have names yet, but the ones who are still in elementary and high school and university, you want to start making little video clips of information shared to TikTok!

RIP ATS and DI.

I have an X, Instagram and Facebook page, mostly used to anonymously browsing posts from the news feeds, to get an overall vibe of what's going on out there in regards to interests, friends and family etc.  You have to use a legitimate name and user account for that type of social media, so remaining completely anonymous is certainly not appilicable there, which might take away from what many forum-users prefer when interacting online...

From where or who?

seems to be the basis of the whole argument here. 

 Um, we also don't
know a whole lot about him.
That's right. And and and very very
important to point that out, right?
These three individuals, including this
gentleman from the weekend, and we'll
learn more about him. They do have some
similarities, right, that are impossible
to to overlook. Uh look, limited social
media presence in some cases next to
nothing. Um you know in two of the cases
we have young men uh who seem to be
frustrated or you know go going down a
certain a certain path of loneliness uh
you know getting caught up online. And
that's where you really got to question
whether you know who else could be
involved

I've noticed over the years that some of my friends get a little frustrated because I don't do Facebook, X, Instagram or any other social media. They seem to think I'm anti technology or don't want to see pictures of their grand kids or where they went on vacation....and they're right. Not about the anti technology, I just don't see the need to put my life on display for strangers. Some of them are just weird.

I hang out on Conspiracy sites with all the normal people.

I have a Facebook, some of my friends from high school are always posting photos of themselves  on vacations with their families and looking super happy. 

In real life they are always complaining about everything. lol

I suggest the key would be that all 3 are crazy, Sirius.

The fella on the end looks like Gary Busey if he did cr@ck. LoL

Social media had some usefulness for my work, still does, but marginally so

I read on X.com daily and occasionally on Reddit

but prefer

long format, smaller demographics of the conspiracy and paranormal forums.

What do you mean "if" ?

[Kurokage]

I picked up that it's considered odd for someone not to have social media presence? Why is that?

I honestly think it's more healthy not have a social media presence!!

I used to be really active on Facebook. I'm much less so, too many ads. I do keep an account on there to keep up with family and friends. I have a lot of military friends who are very active on there. I used to have Twitter, but dumped it after muskrat took over. I migrated over to Bluesky, so much better. I'm pretty active on Reddit. There are so many interesting topics on there, and I can be anonymous. I also created a crossing guard subreddit on there. I'm interested in many different things, so I like to have an active social media presence. I'm introverted and socially awkward, so social media is good for me. If it gets too overwhelming, I can log out and play video games.

Too late

You really have to wonder at the people who use social media ,Especially with the stuff they post online , when they are going on holiday and where     so that they can get burgled , robbed and what ever and everything else on their tiny minds ,Years later a potential employer can check them out and AI knows them better than they do .

Not for me I prefer the international man of mystery tag
