Have you maintained a connection with your past friends? If so, what do you use?

Text message, phone call, physically spending time together... Was this a serious question?
are you the OP
This was more of a "what does 2+2 equal" question though, so it wouldn't require the OP to answer.
Before my friends and i deleted all social media, we opened a pigeon-club, thats how we communicate today, also we exchange backups that way.

Remember before you delete the bird on your phone buy some real ones.

BTW: Don't use the pigeons around the us/mexican border.

This is amazing!
The idea came from a massive Harry Potter fan :)

But, we have still mailing-list and signal, but a pigeon is used for BBQ invitations...the important stuff, we have one where the pigeons can life and he cares for them...we pay our share (everyone is the owner of three pigeons).

I talk to my friends via text every so often to check in with them, and I use discord to talk to daily friends. The problem with social media is you don't check in with friends, you observe them and that isn't really a friendship.
