When I first met my now wife, neither of us had Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, TikTok, Snapchat etc.

My wife and I believe that this was a large contributing factor to the success of our relationship during the early days.

There was no temptation to deep dive into each others past and make judgement calls with no context. We made more time for each other without the distractions of social media and our privacy values aligned which made for a solid start to our relationship.

Nostr is using up more of my bandwidth than I’d like at the moment with its ‘shiny new thing’ appeal but I think it’s going to stay in my life for the short term at least. There is way too much alpha here and zapping is fucking awesome! It’s much easier to dip in and out of than other social apps / protocols / platforms and chatting to mostly anons is great.

If you were just starting to date someone and they had no social media footprint online at all or a very small online presence would you classify it as a:

Green flag 🟢

,

Beige flag ⬜️

OR a

Red flag 🚩 ?
