I legitimately do not, and have never had, any of the usual social media. This lemm.ee account is the only one I have, and that's closing down soon.
However I would also never visit the us. So it's all a win/win for me.

Grizzly murders. Loads of them!!

J/k. It's my privacy. All those horrific murders were really easy to get away with, keeping my privacy private however...
