I have a LinkedIn account. It has the list of recent jobs I’ve held and my education.

That’s my social media presence.

Things like Lemmy are my secondary presence that I keep anonymous.

It’s never been an issue during my background checks. But then, if anyone ever dared to ask me about my lack of presence, I’d give them a level stare and tell them that I practice what I preach.
