I’ve been trying to meet new friends and new people to hang out with so have been going to a lot of social events.
I noticed that everyone seems to ask for my instagram account and when I say I don’t have one that connection kind of dies, and it feels too personal to ask for someone number when I just met them.
I don’t want to create an instagram because of the privacy invasions of meta but I also don’t want to feel left out when trying to make new connections. Anyone have any advice?
Call me crazy but i use Messenger since it is e2ee now and doesn’t require giving out my pn.
There’s no way to know that since it’s not open source.
Even if we did, we DO know that only message content is encrypted, metadata is still fair game, which is what Meta is after anyway.
