I am terminally online and even I don’t want to engage with someone I know IRL through social media. We don’t need to be on discord or Instagram or Reddit to talk 1 on 1. We can just fucking text. Like on the phone. No, I don’t want to download Kik or whatsapp or any other random, sketchy app. We can text through the phone.
Fuck texting like a Neanderthal. Use a modern, and secure app to communicate. WhatsApp as a bottom of the barrel thing (99% of society outside of the US is on it, so it’s the de facto standard) , signal or better if you can.
Signal is as good as you can get or better yet we revert back to the good old days> 1890s and start using telegrams or even better we revert back a further 2000 years and use fire flint and rock me and the homies dance round the fire
Yeah, I was just being conservative. Lemmy has a hard-on for open source and privacy. Didn’t want to state “signal is best”, because someone would “akshually” me :)
Nothing makes me smirk like the rest of the world bragging to Americans that they use Facebook to text. Yeah guys, you nailed it. Big win. We’re over here using standard protocols like rubes. I’m sure you get all kinds of security from that free app from Mr Zuckerberg. lol
I’m all for discrediting Facebook services for better alternatives, but Whatsapp employs End to End encryption by default, while SMS is readable from your ISP and anyone intercepting your conversation.
I’d guess the point is rather that women tend to research their potential assailants/murderers/lovers before dates, which is easier to do for people that share their shit on social media.
Right, because murderers share their kills on social media? You can sort out some creeps but those can’t hide it if you text with them for a few days either. I don’t think you’d spot most murderers or rapists by looking through their social media.
Yeah, but id bet money that the dude is an untreated/undiagnosed autist, and they can be really fucken creepy. I know cause I was diagnosed with aspergers at fucking 2, when you have to mask constantly and look for social cues you start to notice the undiagnosed ones.
If youre curious how I noticed its cause they usually have stronger fixations and are usually a bit off with their body language.

You mean they actually live their life without pretending to be something they are not? Not everyone who doesn’t mask is undiagnosed, the opposite in fact. People get diagnosed, learn masking is bad, and stop doing it gradually.
I can’t believe we have people on lemmy trying to encourage masking.

I really don’t care about security of a conversation that goes like:
“hey wanna hang out on Sunday?”
“Sure, sounds fun, let’s meet at xxx at yyy pm.”
People have a tendency to overvalue themselves in society and to the feds.

You guys use iMessage, a proprietary app from an other big tech company and use it to dismiss the other half of the population.
You guys aren’t much better.
Same here
Well said
I try to limit how much time I spend on social media
But she needs to check for red flags if she doesn’t want to become another rape/murder statistic.
You are really equating someone who despises social media to a potential murderer.

Well her vibe check was right about this guy, he uses 4chan, one of the worst possibly social medias lol

No, someone who refuses to use normal modes of communication, is sus.
I wouldn’t trust someone who refuses to have a cellphone.
OOP does have a cellphone. It’s just not a spyware device like the 7/10 brunette wanted it to be.
