With Covid and the wake of Covid with a return to various aspects of austerity in the US… well most connections I would have had on something like facebook are now trivial or obliterated. There has been a progressive narrowing among most (not all) of the social circles I perceive including family connections.
I really can’t stand Instagram though so I was already fairly isolated before and I am sure plenty of other people have had opposite experiences.
COVID was what put me back to wh*tsapp now I have a tons of family -and coworkers- convo muted
Only a few friends and my dad use Signal I cannot imagine convince the others to leave meta or instal something outside the playstore like the internet though guyz ITT (still love you lemmings but come on)
