How important is it to have a social media profile? I don't have a Facebook account and I've always wondered if this is a red flag for potential employers.

I do have an up to date and well curated LinkedIn profile, but that's it. Obviously I have a Reddit account, but it's not linked to my real name.

How often do employers actively search out someone's social media presence as a screening method?

My thoughts exactly. This isn't "homesteading", it's just hobby farming with a fancy name to make people feel superior.
