A harder problem is group activities. I keep bees and ride a bike. The local groups that have support, experience, supplies and all the people are on Facebook (the beekeepers) and WhatsApp (the cyclists).
I miss various announcements with the beekeepers but caved last month on WhatsApp with the cyclists, I joined WhatsApp. Being 50km from home with equipment issues, you need to be able to talk to the others and they are on WhatsApp. Cancelled rides or proposed new ones are all on WhatsApp.
- ttyprintk 2y agoI’m in that same social situation. The technological situation is that SMS and Facebook are pre-installed on their phones. In one case, Signal was acceptable. Specifically, Signal only rings when someone is among your contacts. The “do not disturb” feature on their smartphone was not blocking endless scam calls. In another, because Signal needs to be installed, the amount of time performing as IT eroded the social time.
