I also miss how there were places where you could have actual serious discussions and other places where you could just goof off, and those were just kind of their own separate things. I’m not even sure if there are any more places like that on the internet where you can share well thought out posts with a dedicated community of people.
I guess Reddit sort of tries to be like that sometimes, but I just can’t bring myself to make those sorts of well thought out posts there because it feels more like shouting into a collective consciousness void that might engage with you, might ignore you, or might react to you but not in the way you’re hoping. Point is I just never feel a connection to any of the other usernames on there.
