I wonder at what point I’ll be a digital outcast. What will that look like? Will my wife just sit on the couch and only message me through Facebook? Will my 3 friends I’ve known since high school not send me a text message to get together to play tennis and organize virtual tennis on Meta and not invite me?
I think more likely is that this concept is overhyped and fragile. Maybe you can think of something I’m missing here that not having Meta is causing ruin in my life for?
- mysterydip 5y agoA few close contacts are easy to maintain with traditional means. Many of the hobby groups I was a part of have moved to either facebook or discord, and old presences like individual forums or websites have disappeared or are shells of their former selves. If you aren't in a lot of groups, maybe this doesn't affect you the same?
- ericmay 5y agoYea for some they moved to Slack but not a part of too many hobby groups or if I am I usually just subscribe to email updates. If they don’t do those then yea I’d either get a text message or an invite some other way or just not be part of the group anymore (which goes to show it wasn’t that important in the first place). It’s kind of a filtering mechanism for important interactions.
