I remember posting about how a guy with a cybertruck would be an immediate no go for me and I was told by a guy I was being too judgy lol
It’s a solid real world filter.
This is definitely more acceptable than “no social media” being a red flag. Got that one before lol
No social media is a green flag IMO.
You're literally using social media right now.
Edit: Downvote me all you want, but the fact of the matter is that Lemmy is social media. There's media on here, and we discuss it in a social setting. Literally the definition of "social media".
Anonymous social media like this is not what people think of when someone says "social media".
Pseudonymous, not anonymous. It's a little difference, but one that can determine whether you land behind bars/dead/doxxed.
All social media can be anonymous if you want it to be ;)
This is more akin to forums of old and less like your facebooks, snaps, etc
I like the term that was applied to reddit, antisocial media.
Yes, if you're too young to remember what a forum is, i guess you can call it social media
Forums are social media
And pee is basically just water
No not the same. Forums didn't revolve around media, they revolved around discussions.
And I'm 37, thankyouverymuch
Well, ackshually ☝️🧐
Both can be true. I’m reducing my usage of the REALLY BAD social media and trying to make THIS social media better.
I give the gift of a free bird to any I pass on the street.
Are you Lynyrd Skynyrd?
I did go to high school in Alabama, and know somebody from Muscle Shoals ...
lol same
Is no social media a red flag?
I've heard it mentioned, but I assume the people who believe it are people who are on Instagram all day
To a lot of people yes, but I think they're more worried there's nothing that proves you're a real person, if that makes sense.
I see it as a liability more than anything. Your data is forever.
Not really, but since we live in a world where most people are happily sharing their lives online it's easy to imagine how not using social media might make people think you have something to hide and, therefore, can't be trusted.
Imagine a cyber truck bro listening to Joe Rogan in that thing. How does that not make every woman in sight instantly aroused?? /s
My panties are soaked! I'm also a pudgy middle-age dude.
You can buy incontinence sheets at the pharmacy, y'know?
:(
Being honest, if I heard about a woman that has cybertruck red flags (assuming you're cis/het), that's genuinely more attractive to me.
This is valid just on taste alone. The thing was ugly even before Elon started his descent into madness.
