I think at least one approach that can work is de-globalization of social media into smaller, reputation/trust-ranked social networks. Discord is pretty good in this regard.
- rolph 5mo agothat sounds like making friends.
- d_silin 5mo agoIt is!
- bluefirebrand 5mo agoIn order to make friends you kind of need to have spaces where you can meet people and trust them enough to make connections In person is obviously the safest for this. For online friendships I feel the places to meet people you can trust aren't AI or Scammers has shrunk a ton
- nomel 5mo agoA reasonable approach is the one that was used in real life: friends of friends can be invited to the space for compatibility screening.
- bluefirebrand 5mo agoYeah of course It makes it very, very hard to start from zero though. Like starting over in a new city
- fragmede 5mo agoShared hobbies and interests connect people, and you can use that to leverage into friendships.
- dexterlagan 5mo agoIf you have suggestions for good Discord servers, please share. The bullshittery is coming out of my ears. I don't quite know where to turn to anymore. There's HN. Reddit is getting a bit crazy, all other social media is a pass for me.
- d_silin 5mo agoWhat topics are you interested in - I have about a dozen subscribed to. Gaming? Webcomics? Fusion power? Space exploration?
