It's unfortunate people assume you have an account on the mainstream social platforms. When I tell people I don't have a bookface or instagram account they look dumbfounded. I don't mention fedi because most people are too fucking stupid to explain it too and I don't have the time or patience or give a shit anyway.
I was the camera dude for this team that wanted me to join bookface so I could join the teams bookface group. They used it plan shit and I said they can stick that idea up their asses. Just send me an sms or call me.

Yeah, in my case I didn't even have to be rude, I just kept using my old Windows Phone and at some point WhatsApp went EOL there and I said: "Sorry guys, I'm not getting a new phone just to be in a chat room",— in the end people figure out a way to reach you through other means, in every company there is someone who can use Matrix or e-mail or the one with whom you stay in touch and who can make a phone call.
It also reduces the amount of "white noise" small talk drastically 😅

I'm still using my Lumia at home — I can browse Fedi with Bloat and Gemini through kineto proxy, and there is a good RSS reader that still works. Perfect gadget for the toilet — although I prefer reading a book most of the time.
But now that I think about it, my Android phone might be collecting dust more than my Lumia, I don't even take it with me when I go for short walks 🤔
