    Except that ostricizes you from your community peers. The point of these “communes” is to be able to live with others who share your lifestyle and be able to talk and share.

      I do most of these things and am still connected to my community. My “online social” is here, limited as it may be (on purpose), and my real community is in real life, where the internet is kind of irrelevant (or when it does come up, is mostly meme sharing)

        It’s hard to get other people off the bad parts of the Internet.

        It’s very hard to get businesses to stop exclusively posting stuff on Instagram.

          People are brainwashed to use only the 3 corpo sites on the internet now. They’ve completely forgotten how awesome the human internet is.

          Oh well. I’ll keep enjoying it while i can and not talking to people who refuse to leave fb and snap.

          Why does it have to be a purity test? Don’t force your own values on other people

            It’s not a purity test, I just don’t want 500 different accounts on platforms I have no interest in and don’t trust because they’ve demonstrated their adversarialism.

        Idk man, “I saw this Thread (or whatever they’re called) earlier that said “blah blah blah” is far too commoningly overheard. I’m not that old myself, mid 30s, but almost all community notices (wife deals with it) is through Facebook, or some other group messaging system. I don’t think that’s the era they are refering to, they want face to face communication. Like gotta go knock on the neighbors door to tell them there’s some deer coming down the hill.

        Aol, all you get is a notification on your computer (when you choose to look at it). Nothing urgent is gonna get noticed in time.

      Yeah I haven’t run into any issues with it. I talk to people on signal, I watch shit on Jellyfin I pirate at work and transfer to my server. I borrow video games and books and DVDs from the library. I come on here on my phone from time to time to jerk off to beans
