    NGL if you have a flip phone now, you're either a contract killer, a drug dealer and or a stage 5 weirdo.

    This is just judgemental and stupid. If you are easily distracted not using a smartphone outside business hours is hugely beneficial.

    I use a lumia 550, but REALLY I would prefer an old school phone like the w800i, but a good k750/w800/k800 is rare and expensive at this point and pretty likely to fail. (I have 2g here). So the lumia it is.

    Friend of mine bought her first smart phone about a year ago. She just didn't need any of the functions on a smartphone and was happier with her flip phone: pretty much infinite battery, near indestructible, does communicate just ok.

    Only reason she bought a smart phone is to download some group chat clients. Since she broke up with her BF, we additionally had to write her on SMS. So she made it a bit easier for us.

    I know this is likely fake, but I have gotten that reaction from people. Folks really find it strange when you don't have social media. The times it really sucks is when they think you're lying and just don't want to add them.

    Her: "What's Lemmy?"

    Me: "It's like if 500 nerds emulated the Reddit experience of 2011."

    Her: (visibly drying)

    Being on 4chan a wayyy bigger red flag than using a flip phone most of the time.

    Of course, I imagine he pulled the phone out and opened it in one smooth motion.

    I am terminally online and even I don't want to engage with someone I know IRL through social media. We don't need to be on discord or Instagram or Reddit to talk 1 on 1. We can just fucking text. Like on the phone. No, I don't want to download Kik or whatsapp or any other random, sketchy app. We can text through the phone.

    Fuck texting like a Neanderthal. Use a modern, and secure app to communicate. WhatsApp as a bottom of the barrel thing (99% of society outside of the US is on it, so it's the de facto standard) , signal or better if you can.

    Ive missed out on job opportunities because i dont keep any socials. There have been a couple companies ive applied to that i got a callback from after the interviews where they basically said my lack of online presence was a red flag for them. Like wtf does it matter if i use facebook or linkden or whatever? I get that it helps them get a feel for the candidate before hiring them, but still...

    If you don't like social media, why would you pretend to like social media to attract someone else who REALLY REALLY cares about social media? It's bound to fail.

    Lemmy is it for me. Oh and a discord server with my gaming buddies. The rest of it just feels pretty gross.
