      Same happen to me and I realized that where not my friends! The question someone asked me then, was how many of them would remember your birthday?
      Phone numbers + messaging apps is good way to stay connected.

        I moved to a new town recently. People don’t give out their phone numbers to connect. They give out their FB and Instagram accounts. Not having either is perceived as weird.

        Hope this helps.

              Facebook is something most people have and use to connect because most people don’t care about the privacy invasions or manipulative algorithms. It’s a fucked up world, not a fucked up town.

              I already said I recently moved. I’ve moved 3 times in the past 10 years and it’s all the same. Maybe people used Snapchat or Instagram more often than Facebook when I was younger but it’s all the same privacy invasive shit.

              The majority tolerate it, that’s why Meta is so successful as a company.

              Hope this helps.
