I guess... But if your web presence is only on Facebook and that's the first result I see then .. hard pass

    That's my daily battle. I'm looking for something in my country, and there are these "businesses" that only show on Facebook or Instagram, both of which are entirely blocked at the network and device level in my house. So I'll never do business with them. If you don't have an actual web site with relevant information, I just keep looking.

    Demanding a small business has their own website before you do business with them is peak Lemmy.

    This site is way out of touch with what the typical person has the knowledge or time to do.

    I can say you've probably spoken for me in this post.

    I'm old enough to be that guy that wants less people in his life. I'm fine with what little friends I have, my family and my dog's. The rest is noise, and I'll deal with it only if I want to, otherwise, there's plenty of animé, books and documentaries I can fill my solo time with, for the rest, I'll always have the main 3 I mentioned.

    I guess I did turn into that "grumpy old guy" I 🤣🤣

    The silver lining of having friends that won't leave those platforms for nothing in the world is being able to interact with those businesses through them.

    You're absolutely right. I also found that, by leaving those platforms, now I know who my real friends are. Back then it was all chat, social networks and no personal interaction as such. Today, we call each other regularly, get together way more often, and when we say "later man" it can mean any time when we call or meet again, so I get to go back to my own stuff without being constantly interrupted by people constantly sending memes or saying "hi" on some shit platform just to see how long I take to respond.

    When I want to get my fill of what's going on in the things that do interest me, there's Lemmy, Mastodon, Nostr and actual news (many, so that I can decide what I believe in the media without following political inclinations).

    I can honestly say that my mental health, and my life as a whole, has improved exponentially since I made this move. I also get to deal with BS like people trying to justify staying in some platforms, maybe rile them up a bit, and then move on without a care.

    Even for companies that have sites, they often get more people contacting them through social media instead of their site. Social media sites tend to have better SEO.

    That's especially the case for younger people as they search Instagram and TikTok more than Google. (https://www.forbes.com/sites/johnkoetsier/2024/03/11/genz-dumping-google-for-tiktok-instagram-as-social-search-wins/ ).
