I am now getting a friend suggestion for Ruddo on Facebook and it has me very worried about where and how I let the lines between my real life and my RM life start to blur.

why do you assume I would accept a friend request from you? I'm the one that should be worried. I'm friends with Angel Reese so

is anyone shocked that social media has been used in this fashion? whether its FB, tiktok, truth social, neighborhood or whatever else is out there.

im pretty stringent in what i "allow" and block on social media. i have fun with it instead of doomscrolling like most

Given that most of Congress thinks the internet runs on witchcraft, it's hard to take them seriously, much less trust them. I'm sure tiktok is used to spy on people, but so are the other ones, and I'm less afraid of China than my own government.
