> I could think, "but if they were a true friend, they would put up with the inconveniences caused by interacting outside Instagram." I want to believe this is true, but I don't think how my friend spends their time or what platform they're motivated to use is a major indicator of the quality of our friendship.
If they were a true friend, they wouldn't subject your 1-on-1 friend communications to constant Zuckerberg surveillance and censorship. There are links that Facebook has decided that you're not allowed to send to or recieve from that "friend". Any serious conversation about real shit that matters (life, death, the universe, hopes, dreams) is going to be logged for all time and turned over to the cops whenever for the asking.
That's not how friendship works. That's the same as telling a friend a secret and them writing it down and mailing it to a third party.
