I would hate to be a teenager in this day and age. The amount of drama that gets started over shit like you're talking about is insane.

As shitty as Facebook is, Snapchat takes that and dials it up to an 11.

I have it on good info from my 16 year old that it is completely unacceptable to:

Leave a snap (message) unopened for any major length of time. How long is highly subjective.
Open a snap and not respond.
Group chat.
Send a normal message that doesn't include a cringy photo of half your face.

Kids actually get upset over this stuff.

I'm just like, "I have a phone number. You can call or text it. If I feel like talking to you I'll answer. If that's a problem for you, too damn bad."

groupchat is unacceptable

So I’m in my really early 20s so i like to think i still able to relate to the youngings and hip youth but man thats just so odd to me

Tbf me and my friends have always been the weird kids so maybe its that but almost all my communication is either in a discord group chat with my irl buddies and some of their buddies, or a very small server that’s the same plus some of my online buddies.

On the note of being weird I never really got social media like instagram and stuff as I either wanna “follow” topics and following people I don’t know feels odd.

I do see the appeal tho as my sister is super into sports so following some of the big names that might move her forward makes sense to me

I had a point in here at one point but this just turned into a ramble

I either wanna “follow” topics and following people I don’t know feels odd.

Or at the very least just everything a particular person has to say about a particular topic, not about everything in their life (e.g. some author I like on the topic covered by their books, some programmer on their project,...).
