- ktm5j 5mo agoI will do as I please, thanks.
- amanaplanacanal 5mo agoYou asked for a suggestion, they gave you one. And this is your response?
- ktm5j 5mo agoAre you serious? He didn't answer my question, he jumped all over me judging my choices and insinuated that I don't get enough real life human interaction.. so yes that's my response.
- jjulius 5mo agoYes, OP did - the alternative to social media is not more social media, which is a view shared by many. OP didn't judge you, they stated their opinion and asked you to soul search. If you truly feel that judged and offended, and I say this with kindness, perhaps you would do well to ask yourself why.
- ktm5j 5mo agoWow okay, whatever you say man..
- senordevnyc 5mo agoHaha, they didn't say they were offended, they just rejected the (clearly judgmental and off-topic) advice. They specifically asked for a Facebook alternative, including for online-only social groups they find important, so the advice to "just do real human connection without social media" is pretty useless. And shit like "Is it so important to share a photo with strangers?" is clearly judgmental and dismissive. Loved your little passive aggressive encouragement to look inward though. So kind.
- jjulius 5mo agoI hope you have a pleasant day. :)
- senordevnyc 5mo agoI hope you find some peace ♡
- buellerbueller 5mo agoThis is an insane response.
- ktm5j 5mo agoI asked for social media options and dude went on a self entitled rant saying I shouldn't want social media. I feel like my response was rather level headed considering what I wanted to tell him to go do, but maybe that's just me.
- krapp 5mo agoI mean, you're commenting in text format on a web forum to strangers using pseudonyms right now. Why is that valid but the use of social media isn't?
- thinkingtoilet 5mo agoNot really. No infinite scroll. No personalized algorithm. No insane levels of tracking. To compare this to facebook or tiktok is incredibly dishonest.
- krapp 5mo agoYou didn't mention any of those. You mentioned "real human connection," yet the connections here are no more or less "real" than on facebook and tiktok. "I've never had a social media account on any platform and I have plenty of friends and an active social life." Yeah, most people who use social media also have plenty of friends and an active social life. You seem to not comprehend that there is actual utility to social media for many people, or that most people using social media aren't touch-starved incels or lonely basement dwellers or whatever. But to answer OP's question since no one else will - maybe try Fediverse alternatives like Mastodon or Friendica.
