What if you have no social media?

I deleted it all over five years ago, Reddit almost 3 years ago.

Other than Lemmy that is. That's all I got if that counts as social media.

I feel like they wouldn't believe me though and deny me. How do you prove you don't have something?

They legitimately find lack of social media to be a red flag.
