Not using social media: red flag or green flag?

[Lil_K47]

Up until I recently started a small business I had hadnt been on Facebook in 2 years. Cant  say I really missed. would look at it occasionally, but I had nothing I wanted to say. 
 

im using Facebook and insta currently to promote the product im making. 
 

My dad has a Facebook, he never uses, and my brother has no forms of social media at all! I think both of them are fairly normal people and my dad has been dating a woman he met online for 10 years!
 

I think the trick is learning to read people from the questions you ask. I’m probably a little older than most. So I really think that comes from experience and just  talking to people. Throwing out good getting to know you questions. And the kinds of responses you get back from your questions. You can usually tell when someone is BSing you. If something just feels “off” chances are your right! Trust your gut!

The only socials I use now are YouTube and Discord (and discord is only because my old college classmates and I have a group chat) 

I gave up the others over the last few years and it's the best decision I ever made. I feel more centered and in reality & find myself generally less stressed. It's nice to just "be" or do something beneficial - it's better for you than scrolling though mindless apps with millions of different posts that talk about nonsense and the same things but with a remix. I certainly feel less dumbed down, if that makes sense!

I used to be on social media all the time, but lately some platforms are becoming more and more toxic. I also don't like the fact that the major platforms track you and create a profile on you, often selling it to others. I am still on decentralized social media platforms and forums, but I log into the mainstream ones less and less.

No or very limited social media is a giant bright 💚 flag. 

My ideal home with a Daddy Dom is a digitally minimized one. 

A cozy sanctuary from all the hate, the noise, all the chaos of the 🌎

I agree, @HoneySenpais_Stuffie, it’s so nice to just BE.

I used to think not using social media was kinda odd too, but then I realized some people just don’t care for it. For those who do use Instagram, though, tools like https://famoid.com/buy-instagram-likes/ can be handy if you're trying to grow a presence or boost posts. Still, lack of socials doesn’t mean anything negative by itself—it really depends on the person and their vibe.

I think it depends on how someone uses social media. If you are a passive scroller or are using it to fill some sort of void or for validation, I consider that a red flag but I think there is also a lot of good to come from social media and the internet in general. Social media is like a library to me. It's best to go in knowing what you are looking for so you can find it easily then get out. Otherwise you'll become lost and/or frustrated.

Personally, I don't use social media anymore. I like the idea of turning off my phone and having some 'me' time.

To me, it isn't really a case of if they use certain social media platforms, but rather how much time they'll spend on it when they're not occupied with something they should be doing. I try to moderate my social media time every week, trying not to spend too much time on it without getting carried away (even though that does happen sometimes)

I think it depends on how it is used. If I see someone that has a face book it makes me feel more comfortable. But I also have to be careful because too much of it is bad for me and my mental health. Too much SoCal midia can make you think you are in a eco camber and can convince you that everyone else is perfect.

I'm currently on a break from social media. I think of it like a detox. At first it was hard but now I really don't miss it.

I'm on a lot of social media, but I don't usually post or interact. It's easier and nicer to observe. But most people have burned me in the past so...also I've found that if I do have something to share, no one cares. So I've got Facebook, and x and the popular ones, but it's to keep on top of the things that interest me like the games I play and the shows I watch.

I honestly believe it's almost impossible not to use social media in today's times. Because if you think about it  we are on social media all the time. This platform is a form of social media, being on YouTube is a form of social media, even being on Google is a form of social media. 

It's almost impossible nowadays to get away from social media, is it possible to get away completely yes you could. But in my opinion it would be hard because the way our society is now, the news is on social media, finding out the weather is on some sort of social media, there's so many different things that we use social media for.

Do I think it's a red flag no do I think it's a green flag also no, because it has good qualities and bad qualities. 

I use social media all the time, it's part of my job and I have to. So I honestly believe it's about balance,  and not letting the bad part of social media to overtake our lives. 

And without social media I would not have found you amazing people nor would I have  found my daddy.

That's just my small spill about it
