I'm not into social media either. But unless you want to live like a hermit, you don't have much choice nowadays but to visit these sites from time to time.

1. I can't use anything else other than WhatsApp for messaging with families and friends. Thank God my kids' school still uses good-old email for communications.

2. Almost all the useful video tutorials/mini-documentaries/science-shorts are on Youtube and nowhere else.

3. Family and friends always send me links to videos and posts on Facebook, Twitter and Tiktok. I don't usually click when it's just some meme or for laughs but sometimes it a post that matters to me/them enough to click on it.

Yep, that was also the point when I started distrusting Google. I was a big Google Reader user and have some dozen geeky friends and we used to share our favourite posts (using the friends following feature).

Proton mail allows this.

A free alternative would be using the [email protected] trick.

Gmail allows this, but unfortunately some websites wont accept the + sign as valid character in an email field.
