I don't feel the need to post my life online... Continues to post personal story online

[-] jabathekek@sopuli.xyz 139 points 9 months ago

The difference is ~~it's fake~~ the anonymity.

[-] Daft_ish@lemmy.world 115 points 9 months ago

Doesn't live online --->>> posts on 4chan

[-] FoundTheVegan@kbin.social 32 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

never felt like I needed to post my life for the whole world to see

As he posts a story from his life 🙄

Dude is so oblivious and arrogant. He barely knows her and is already judging, thankfully smart girl saw the signs and dodged a bullet. It's rare for greentext to have a happy ending.

NGL if you have a flip phone now, you're either a contract killer, a drug dealer and or a stage 5 weirdo.

[-] ddkman@lemm.ee 12 points 9 months ago

This is just judgemental and stupid. If you are easily distracted not using a smartphone outside business hours is hugely beneficial.

I use a lumia 550, but REALLY I would prefer an old school phone like the w800i, but a good k750/w800/k800 is rare and expensive at this point and pretty likely to fail. (I have 2g here). So the lumia it is.

I know this is likely fake, but I have gotten that reaction from people. Folks really find it strange when you don't have social media. The times it really sucks is when they think you're lying and just don't want to add them.

If you don’t have lemmy nobody will fuck you.

[-] AlfredEinstein@lemmy.world 93 points 9 months ago

Her: "What's Lemmy?"

Me: "It's like if 500 nerds emulated the Reddit experience of 2011."

Her: (visibly drying)

"It's like if 500 nerds emulated the Reddit experience of 2011."

Now we just need Woody Harrelson in here talking about Rampart.

Ben Shapiro intensifies.

Being on 4chan a wayyy bigger red flag than using a flip phone most of the time.

I am terminally online and even I don't want to engage with someone I know IRL through social media. We don't need to be on discord or Instagram or Reddit to talk 1 on 1. We can just fucking text. Like on the phone. No, I don't want to download Kik or whatsapp or any other random, sketchy app. We can text through the phone.

[-] Firipu@startrek.website 18 points 9 months ago

Fuck texting like a Neanderthal. Use a modern, and secure app to communicate. WhatsApp as a bottom of the barrel thing (99% of society outside of the US is on it, so it's the de facto standard) , signal or better if you can.

[-] Pohl@lemmy.world 34 points 9 months ago

Nothing makes me smirk like the rest of the world bragging to Americans that they use Facebook to text. Yeah guys, you nailed it. Big win. We’re over here using standard protocols like rubes. I’m sure you get all kinds of security from that free app from Mr Zuckerberg. lol

Of course, I imagine he pulled the phone out and opened it in one smooth motion.

[-] Sanctus@lemmy.world 32 points 9 months ago

Shes gonna think you're handing her a burner phone dude lmao

[-] funktion@lemm.ee 15 points 9 months ago

If someone pulls out a flip phone I'm just going to assume they're a drug dealer

If you don't like social media, why would you pretend to like social media to attract someone else who REALLY REALLY cares about social media? It's bound to fail.

Ive missed out on job opportunities because i dont keep any socials. There have been a couple companies ive applied to that i got a callback from after the interviews where they basically said my lack of online presence was a red flag for them. Like wtf does it matter if i use facebook or linkden or whatever? I get that it helps them get a feel for the candidate before hiring them, but still...

[-] Flyingostrich@endlesstalk.org 18 points 9 months ago

Funny thing is, some places love when people Dont have social media. I have had to go thrugh a lot of background checks for my jobs before and most of the time they are happy to hear that there is no social media for me to say dumb stuff on online.

Always lead with "I don't have any social media."

Hey I want to look at 4chan stuff like this but not get flashed with porn, any tips?

[-] CannedTuna@sh.itjust.works 48 points 9 months ago

Stick to communities like this that screencap the good bits so you don’t have to sort through the crap.

A drug dealers flip phone. Lol

[-] Naja_Kaouthia@lemmy.world 17 points 9 months ago

Lemmy is it for me. Oh and a discord server with my gaming buddies. The rest of it just feels pretty gross.

Folks wanna know what they're getting into. Your social media feeds are an easy indicator. Your twitter all retweets of Andrew Tate? Facebook filled with pics of you dressed up like a leather dog? Truth social? Concerning for many women.

This just makes me even happier that I've been with my (now) wife since sophomore year of highschool so I don't have to deal with this mess of a dating environment
