Like I don't really use any other social media, but sometimes (like this past week) I venture outside of my hexbear bubble and I browse twitter, or reddit, or instagram, or tiktok, and holy shit I just browse those websites for a minute or two and feel worse about myself, worse about the world, it honestly seems like everyone on those sites is completely insufferable and every post is designed in some CIA laboratory to make me irrationally angry. Like look, sometimes we can all get annoyed at each other here, and I am no exception to that, and nowhere is perfect, but wow this place is 1000% better than like the majority of the internet, I honestly don't know how people go through life at this point browsing the regular internet.
Honestly, I am used to the unpleasant feelings I receive, and I have no idea how to use this site, despite using Reddit. I often ask myself, "How do I find Discord Communities here" or "How do I ask around here". "How do I talk about my special interests?". "How do I do anything without feeling like I might step on a landmine?" I am honestly lost, but this site is good, even with my great amount of confusion.
