I love papers, but I can name about 1 other person who reads the paper in my town, and theyre dead because they were 98.
NO ONE reads papers anymore. Very few look at flyers in public either, they stare at their phones no matter where they are.
The only way is for a new service to come out that every single person jumps on. That wont happen, so we have fb, and will have fb for 20 more years. Look at Craigslist, no one touches that since marketplace exists, there’s no reason to, and its more dangerous since you cant see a profile of a person (yes, those could be fake but that takes effort)
I should clarify i HATE fb and most social media besides lemmy I will not use. But when EVERYONE is on fb, you cant just deny using it, unless you want to have no friends or involvement.
Well… YOU could read papers. YOU could look up from your phone and notice the flyers.
The possibilities are there. There are other ways to get info about local events than from fb. You don’t have to wait for everyone else to pick up a paper.
Ps. I have plenty of friends and involvement, which most of my current social circle I gathered after moving alone to a new city, without using social media. I lost a lot of acquaintances by leaving fb, but none that I actually miss. My friends are the ones I put effort into keeping in touch with.
People exist offline. We’ve done so for millennia, and still do.
Right, but im 1 person in a sea of millions who dont use papers, dont know what a cd is, dont go on any sites besides x and fb.
Its a losing battle. Even my friends are far too tech illiterate to do anything like matrix or signal (plus theyre afraid of it anyways). It sucks that WE know better but have to abide by what most of society uses if you want to be involved.
