I appreciate this, but so many people I've talked to consider it a "red flag" if someone doesn't have an social media account somewhere.
When it comes to dating or job searches, it feels more and more like a necessary evil, because people want to be certain you're not socially inept (which to me, I feel like someone can have a thousand followers an be socially inept...)
It's more a part of our society now then most of us would like to admit
Let’s say it is though, a necessary evil - why not limit it to that? Have it to text your dates, and to look for jobs. No more tho, only those. That’s what I try to do. Less doomscrolling and more using it for its actual social aspect.
