I really hate spending any time or effort building connections on proprietary platforms since it is so inevitable all that effort will decay to nothing as the platform dies, as it eventually must because it is controller by a single corporation that isn't interested in interoperability nor maintaining it once it's no longer profitable.

To the extent possible I prefer to keep in touch with everyone via email since it is a decentralized open standard, so it will never go away.
