I seem to value my privacy more than most people around me. That is why I left windows and installed Linux on all my machines.
I have un-googled my life as much as possible and don't have any social media where you post under your real name. I think more people should follow suite.
It can actually passively increase contacts if you are not on facebook. Had already two cases where people from the almost long forgotten past called me to ask why I am such a ghost on the net. Was really nice hearing from them again. Couldn't convince me to join social media though.
Nice to hear, but I think it's mostly the reverse. I have missed parties, missed group convos that I probably should've known about etc because I don't have facebook.
