I’ve been trying to meet new friends and new people to hang out with so have been going to a lot of social events.
I noticed that everyone seems to ask for my instagram account and when I say I don’t have one that connection kind of dies, and it feels too personal to ask for someone number when I just met them.
I don’t want to create an instagram because of the privacy invasions of meta but I also don’t want to feel left out when trying to make new connections. Anyone have any advice?

I’ve gone back to just texting and switched over to signal for band chats and group stuff, and so far the only person who doesn’t like it is a dick bag who claims to be an anarchist but refuses to live his life without using a fascist propaganda machine to socialize.
