I am terminally online and even I don't want to engage with someone I know IRL through social media. We don't need to be on discord or Instagram or Reddit to talk 1 on 1. We can just fucking text. Like on the phone. No, I don't want to download Kik or whatsapp or any other random, sketchy app. We can text through the phone.

But she needs to check for red flags if she doesn't want to become another rape/murder statistic.

You are really equating someone who despises social media to a potential murderer.

I'd guess the point is rather that women tend to research their potential assailants/murderers/lovers before dates, which is easier to do for people that share their shit on social media.

Right, because murderers share their kills on social media? You can sort out some creeps but those can't hide it if you text with them for a few days either. I don't think you'd spot most murderers or rapists by looking through their social media.

Well her vibe check was right about this guy, he uses 4chan, one of the worst possibly social medias lol

Yeah, but id bet money that the dude is an untreated/undiagnosed autist, and they can be really fucken creepy. I know cause I was diagnosed with aspergers at fucking 2, when you have to mask constantly and look for social cues you start to notice the undiagnosed ones.

If youre curious how I noticed its cause they usually have stronger fixations and are usually a bit off with their body language.

You mean they actually live their life without pretending to be something they are not? Not everyone who doesn't mask is undiagnosed, the opposite in fact. People get diagnosed, learn masking is bad, and stop doing it gradually.

I can't believe we have people on lemmy trying to encourage masking.

This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
