      … I can’t tell if you’re serious or not, but if you’re honestly so put-off by human connection and comradery, I’m disappointed. Kind of a weird take from someone on Lemmy if that’s the case, though.

        Online communities are trash and you’re all bots. Real life is very different

          Haha, we’re in a digital age, buddy. Computers are nothing more than the latest way to connect real people in real ways. Sure, bots exist, just like spam telephone callers exist and were probably major issues when that was the main way for people to connect with one another across large distances, but you’re not going to stop it by covering your ears and denying the existence of every person you can’t physically see.

          I have a wife and family, I have friends, and I have online communities I care about; they’re all just different legitimate social circles. We may not have evolved for it, but we’re living it anyway, and the faster you adapt to that, the better.

                  You can literally see that it’s a jpeg. Whatever, man. At this point you’re just trolling. But hey, that’s one of those human interactions that the internet made possible, so thanks for highlighting that for me.

                    Lol are you actually trying to convince me to take online communities seriously in this thread? Like I’ll actually change my mind based on what you say?

                    Thought we all knew this was a fuckabout

                    Real talk, make RL human connections, not doomosphere connections.

                    Steps towards being terminally online include caring about any online only group beyond normal consumption. Turn back!
