Not at all, I’ve always had a very healthy relationship, insofar as I’ve never made an account on Facebook or a Twitter or anything like it. I’ve always been amazed that supposedly smart people don’t understand the simple truth of the internet: once you upload something, it’s online forever. If you’re not 100% sure that what you’re sharing is something you want associated with you until the day you die, don’t share it.
As I’m not capable of seeing into the future, the only sane choice is not to share in the first place. Close and meaningful relationships with other people were possible before they were cynically monetized by social media, and they’re still possible without it. When it comes to social media, the only winning move is not to play, and/or be anonymous.
The alternative is that some 14 year old can DOXX you, SWAT you, and generally make your life miserable. The alternative is that your boss sees something they don’t like and you lose your job.
