I get where you’re coming from but I still disagree with your position. An internet conversation is not the same as a meeting in real life. I like most people here because I don’t have to see them or have to be around them.
I see it as a way to exchange information and opinions and as a way to escape from reality. Sometimes that goes off the rails and devolves into shitposting. Social media is a misnomer, it should be parasocial media.
OTOH, I don’t have a twitter account (nor Insta, nor FB, nor TikTok, nor whatever-new-hip-platform), so maybe I’m just fucking antisocial and wished I weren’t.

not sure what’s going on here. you wished you were social so that you can stand to use social media?
regardless, you’re on this platform, but it’s a lot more anonymous than any of the others. which i don’t use either because a) it’s 99% dreck; and b) anything “good” from there is reposted here anyway (along with the dreck, but whatever)
