I honestly believe the Fediverse is a good place, exactly because it’s slightly less accessible than mainstream stuff. It keeps the absolute scum of the earth out. The internet turned to shit once everyone all of a sudden could access it. It was a fun place to be when you actually had to know your way around a computer. Now the internet essentially is an app on the fucking phone and even the dumbest mouth breather can access it.
How old are, if I may ask? I haven’t made a whole bunch of new friends for quite some time now, but that’s fairly normal once you’ve become a wageslave. I just don’t have the mental strength for the upkeep of new friendships.
Magic the Gathering is on the rise again, through which I could at least maintain some meetings with cool colleagues from work. So that’s cool I guess.
