Honestly, internet of weirdos that feels separate from the real world is on private discords now. I pluck people from various semi-public communities that seem cool and build cool private communities.
- local_crmdgeon 3y agoThose discords are full of "weirdos" who are all exactly the same. I'm talking about the self hosted blogs about how the moon landing is fake that also explained how to emulate NES games, BBS' etc. Every Discord I've seen is just a bunch of Zoomer communist furries which, while not exactly your average bunch, are all very similar to each other and everyone on Twitter and Mastodon.
- AeroNotix 3y agoThere is a huge difference between pockets of weirdos sharing giphy memes in walled gardens using tools provided by a corporation and what felt like practically the entire internet being comprised of, built for and used by absolute weirdos.
