Even after reading these responses I'm still feeling torn about setting up an account. I wish it wasn't the case but I just feel so uncomfortable about having to publicly maintain an idealized image of my life and interests, just to prove I'm normal.
I'm not making one and no one can force me to be honest. WhatsApp has replaced sms in my country basically, people that care can contact me there. Maybe see a status once in a while. But I'm not putting in more effort than that, feels dystopian to artificially maintain some profile to prove that you're "normal" tbh.
Dunno if that's too :a-guy: but whatever at this point. People that want to contact me can, I'll give anyone irl that's interested in remaining in contact my number and/or whatsapp, I'm not going to bullshit on Instagram or snap.
