> socialise with real people
I have some real-life, non-internet-based hobbies for which I come together with other people. All the rest of those people frequently talk about social media, online influencers, DRM-controlled streaming, and WhatsApp groups, and I’m the weirdo because I don’t follow any of that. In fact, it is socializing with real people that convinces me that the world will just go along with tech companies’ nefarious plans, and ultimately it may no longer be very feasible for us nerds to just drop out.
- grrdotcloud 3y agoMy real friends use group text. Nothing fancy. Real names. Real numbers. No data collection. No cost. Memes flow. Links get posted. All is just a setup for the next IRL meeting. I found the end of the internet in '99. This is the last few sites that have a low bot ratio.
