Have you had any success connecting to old friends outside of mainstream social media? That’s what I’m struggling with.

Just make sure to solve the real problem though. The police will still eventually find your posts even if you’re using Lemmy or something else relatively niche. Just don’t post crimes.

I have a phone. They have a phone. I have their number. They have my number…
If they don’t have my number there’s a reason.

I think they’re talking about people you may have lost contact with. Where do find anyone for a quick text? Facebook. What is the substitute platform for finding just about anyone?

My social circle for texting is really small, but in the good old days of social media I kept in touch with a wider circle.

Our family group used to have a Signal chat until the older people in the family started having issues remembering their pins.
They were using MMS before, but the depth of privacy needed for them was mostly dinner plans, so when the Signal chat dried up, I didn’t really care or push back on it. Whatever.

Sort of? Text and email mostly work.
Though I’m not the sentimental type and generally just make new friends. I’ve moved to a different state, so it’s not like get-togethers are happening.
