    Not saying that a lot of people get arrested for posting their crimes on facebook, instagram, etc but a lot of people get arrested for posting their crimes on facebook, instagram, etc.

    I mean - don’t use those things. Delete them. Now.

        The problem is when your previous posts are suddenly now crimes, and nobody cares about ex post facto any more.

        Agreed. And since Meta and Xitter are avowed fascism hubs, delete them anyway.

          Sure. I deleted my Facebook >10 years ago, and I haven’t missed it.

          Just make sure to solve the real problem though. The police will still eventually find your posts even if you’re using Lemmy or something else relatively niche. Just don’t post crimes.

            Have you had any success connecting to old friends outside of mainstream social media? That’s what I’m struggling with.

              I have a phone. They have a phone. I have their number. They have my number…

              If they don’t have my number there’s a reason.

                I think they’re talking about people you may have lost contact with. Where do you find anyone for a quick text? Facebook. What is the substitute platform for finding just about anyone?

                  My social circle for texting is really small, but in the good old days of social media I kept in touch with a wider circle.

              Sort of? Text and email mostly work.

              Though I’m not the sentimental type and generally just make new friends. I’ve moved to a different state, so it’s not like get-togethers are happening.
