I feel like having an account on a Meta site is today’s equivalent of being a smoker.

There isn't better analogy. I hope it spreads and we will see the same effect and social pressure as smokers faced.
Vaping is the new smoking. Except you knew what was inside a cigar, while vape liquid is a generic term for anything inside a bottle.
Agreed. I rarely see smokers nowadays but I see a lot of vapers everywhere even including on public transit and kids.
Being a smoker in the 1950s maybe.
After years off of it I got back on it because living in NYC it’s a lot easier to find and get invited to events in the arts if you’re on it. I wish it weren’t so. I hate every part of it that isn’t a utility.
