How do you get into the non-anonymous internet?
Things like Instagram or Snapchat.
I haven't had any form of social media but steam since middle school
Part of me wants to open a Facebook or Twitter and start adding people but I don't know who I could add but family. And why would anyone want someone who doesn't post much to follow them online anyway?
Give it to me straight. How do I become hip like my fellow young people (I'm 19) and blend in with the non-anonymous internet
People like adding other people they know for friend numbers, and also if they ever have to reach you, or they are planning a reunion, or see how you are doing then they can. Don't overthink it. Just add people. I dont follow everyone i added from middle school but it's nice to know that We are on good terms enough for them to have added me back.
Just add pictures of you so they know it's you and not some bot.
Making a facebook account in 2017 would come off as pretty odd.
Facebook sucks. Instagram imo is more okay since it's just all pictures, although the ads can get really tiring. If you're into taking photos or just lurking on people, I suggest to make an Instagram.
Twitter's pretty cool for livefeed shit or memes.
I dunno. Social media isn't really necessary as long as you've got your own circle of friends to chat with.
if you're me you don't. if you're you, you make sure you haven't pissed off very hostile groups that would be waiting for you to do that, then you just make an account.
