Not saying that a lot of people get arrested for posting their crimes on facebook, instagram, etc but a lot of people get arrested for posting their crimes on facebook, instagram, etc.
I mean - don't use those things. Delete them. Now.
-
What about committing crimes facilitated by facebook, instagram, tiktok? Those fraudsters (fake ads for high paying jobs, famous people peddling snake oil, etc) rarely get caught.
-
All the more reason to delete them.
-
-
And ideally don't commit crimes. But if you do, don't post about them on any social media, or anywhere for that matter.
-
The problem is when your previous posts are suddenly now crimes, and nobody cares about ex post facto any more.
-
Yeah it didn't used to be a crime to genocide. Genghis Khan got away with it.

😢

Crimes are for the poor.
-
Agreed. And since Meta and Xitter are avowed fascism hubs, delete them anyway.
-
Sure. I deleted my Facebook >10 years ago, and I haven't missed it.
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.

Let's see what a "crime" is in two years.

Right what are we talking about

Have you had any success connecting to old friends outside of mainstream social media? That's what I'm struggling with.
-
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. I just told them that they'd get zero depth out of me beyond surface level information unless it was on Signal, but in the end our conversations never went deep enough to matter unless someone couldn't log into Jellyfin, and by that point, they'd ask in person.
-
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 you 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.

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.
