    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.
