Unfortunately 2 of those I almost entirely get spam and business/commercial interactions through. On my cell phone I've gotten one call in the last 6 months that wasn't spam and it was an automated notification from the Sheriff about a permit I'd applied for. I haven't gotten a single useful call from someone not on the whitelist of my contact page in so long it's tempting to just autosend all unrecognized numbers to voicemail.
Email in particular I don't think really fits the mold of social network. I think principally because there's not really a public post concept it's all essentially point to point communications. There are some abstractions like mailing lists but they're still an express list of people who will get it. I guess that might not be so different from a 100% private profile but the lack of any public functionality excludes it from the social media category.
- thekyle 6y agoWhat about SMS? I don't know where you live, but here in America everyone I know uses it.
- rtkwe 6y agoI largely only text my partner and that's through Whatsapp. My friend group has a Discord we all use.
- dgellow 6y agoThe use of SMS is a US oddity. The rest of the world is using almost only messenger apps: Line or WeChat if you’re in Asia, WhatsApp or telegram in Europe or South America.
- samoa42 6y agoeuro here, used sms heavily until the ott messenger craze set in my cicles (~2015). nowadays mostly for contacts that either dont use a smartphone or dont have mobile internet connection (yes! those exist). are u sure u are using sms? asking because apple overlays imessage and iphone penetration is said to be highest in usa.
