I'm so sick of being a shameful social embarrassment, holy shit how pathetic do you have to be to be incapable of talking to people ON THE INTERNET
Fuck talking to people in general

Some forums have always been famously nasty places. For those of us old enough to remember the internet pre-2010, and lucky enough to stumble on the right corners of the internet, plenty of forums were actually super cool, tiny, self-moderated niche communities with like 20-30 active users tops where you could genuinely share passions and make friends. All but one of my good online friends I have now were made back then.
No idea how anyone would find many nice interactions now. Hexbear is as close as it gets for me, but it's still significantly different.
This is spot on, all of my longest and closest friends in life are people I met on a niche web forum pre 2010. The internet used to be so different before social media, that’s why I enjoy being on the fediverse so much because its the closest call back to that
