I’ll toss in my two cents as someone born in the mid nineties, and is not very connected by modern standards. I have a Discord, Reddit, HN, YouTube (?) and Steam. I’ve deleted or completely stopped using any other social media accounts.
That being said I can count on one hand the number of people who have a similar level of disconnect. Most people +/- 5 years of me that I know maintain on if not multiple other social media accounts. Mostly Instagram, from my experience.
I think the biggest thing I’ve noticed is that people I talk to are _aware_ of the risks and dangers of engaging with social media. But for some reason or another still choose to do so. But the level of awareness is up quite a bit from where it was half a decade ago.
