Find a small community of like-minded friends to hang with online.

Hell, I only visit Reddit and Lemmy for the big news for a few minutes before heading off to check discord and matrix chats and everywhere else I go.

Branch out.

I just tried that...went searching for a room and amongst some software package rooms the two I stumbled upon that made me nope the fuck out are "COVID-19 truth" or similar, and some pro-trump mafia thing that had the n-word in its description. I tried to search for something even in the state of california and the closest I got was a gay hookup channel.

Thanks, I fucking hate the Internet now.

Maybe Facebook is the right place for some people.

Are you saying for me? Cuz facebook sucks ass too.

I remember the old Internet. Honestly, lemmy is the only thing I've encountered that feels even like the newer part of the old Internet.
