Good luck. If you want to interact with the modern world- have a smartphone, use social media, streaming services, etc., you’re going to have your data sold. And if you don’t do it, the corporation you work for is probably doing it. The horses are already out of the barn. Our data is not ours anymore.

You’re delusional if you think you’re a “ghost” online. You can make it harder to track you, but you’re never, ever invisible.
You don’t have to be - all you must do is have the value of selling your data be lower than the cost of acquiring it.
I would say Lemmy is a form of social media.
Good luck getting a job that pays anything but starvation wages.
You don’t have to be on social media to get a good job.
A lot of jobs ask you for social media contacts. They also advertise via LinkedIn and Indeed, which require personal data. So you don’t have to be, but you’ll be lucky if you get one. And, like I said, once you get one, the company could easily just sell the data you give them. Are you going to refuse to give them your information too? Why would they hire you? Why would they keep you?
This is the same “everyone can do what I did” nonsense I get from rich libertarians.

Insulting me doesn’t mean everyone can have the same job as you, sorry.
