a long time ago after caving in to family pressure. I woke up the next morning with 80+ people who wanted me to "friend" them, none of which I knew.
I could see immediately that it was not a place where information would be safe and immediately closed my account.

If someone wants to talk, write etc. there are other ways to do that. I'm 77, and do not want to be totally accessible to every asshole on the planet.

There will be no "social media" for me, thank you! 😁
