> Why don't you want to telegraph your entire social graph to the world? What are you hiding?!

I remember in the earlier days, 10+ years ago, that was -exactly- how people looked at me whenever I said I don't have a Facebook account. I'm glad most people are out of that mindset, at least, even if it makes me seem like a target.

There is more of a fragmentation of social media networks now than before. More corporations are trying to enter that business I guess. In effect, this makes it less of a chock to say that you don't use Facebook, because you could easily be using another platform. So given that you don't use Facebook there is a lower probablitiy that you are avoiding social media entirely, hence less drama.
