I’ve never had a Facebook account or any other social media. I know they keep shadow profiles, but I’ve never given permission. I never had any interest and frankly still don’t.
The problem I’m having is that I don’t exist online when people try to look me up. When someone tries to check me out, there’s nothing there and apparently that’s considered abnormal these days. I think it’s starting to affect my life negatively for various reasons I’d rather not get into.
I’d just like some advice about where to start if you wanted to dip your toes in and check it out. LinkedIn, maybe?
Hey there, i just signed up for Lemmy after being “social media” free for a few weeks after I left Reddit. Yes this is an I made this account to comment here post. I (like OP) have a near 0 online footprint. You can NOT Google me. I only want to point out that if someone were to leverage money they could still have all the data on me. I just dont willingly add various photographic proof of my presence.
