i worry about (future, AI enhanced) impersonation attempts so I just keep it secure and don’t post anything.
I don't. Everyone I know knows I don't use any Meta products, so it would have limited impact.
my grandma is still alive, some other family as well. with AI voice cloning and things i just foresee a lot of negative possibilities. maybe in another decade nobody i know would be on those places as well, hopefully there is some alternative for keeping up with family and old colleagues etc.
What about regular calls and visits? People don't seem to have genuine conversations on SM like they do in person or on the phone.
unfortunately can't jet across the country regularly, as much as i might wish. and sometimes calls happen over (guess what) fb messenger. not everything is a conversation, but meta products cover a lot of ground beyond status updates at this point.
They do, but is that actually helping build your relationship? Or does it make you feel like you're more connected than you are and justify calling/visiting a bit less?
