I'm a 30s fellow and I do this as well. I'm all calls/text message + video calls via Signal/Wire/Skype.
I don't understand the desire to publicly broadcast things and none of my friends have had an issue with it. Of course, my friends are mostly technical or privacy-oriented folks.
- wll 9y agoA broadcast may be worthwhile when it carries measurable value and: produces unsigned side effects [0]; produces manageable signed side effects [1]. I’m 24, deleted Facebook at 18, WhatsApp last year, and I too am all calls (and emails for longform or bit sharing). I still observe HN, Twitter [2], domain-specific newsletters for value, and occasionally share when there’s value to be added. While I might have to manage debris, I see value.
