    Define “the internet” and “my people”.

    I personally would say the fediverse is pretty close to people i like to debate.

    Is that “my people”? Not sure. I’d say they’re my tribe. Nerds who have partly let go of reality and especially of the corpoweb. I have proven myself wrong all my life so why not find some comrades to do this more efficiently?

    Have a nice day. :)

    This is why 4chan and Reddit meetups are the most sweat inducing awkward meetings ever I’d rather play magic the gathering with the fedora boys. But I am an online nomad looking for quality content so I avoid large communities like insta and tiktok. The chat is wild.

      I’m in one group that gets along great when it meets, but we met online in a website comment section before social media was really a thing. We wreaked havoc and I think we traumatized the admin for life.

    People are not my people, and I just had to spend 3 days away for work with:

    • in person meetings
    • manning a stake holder booth
    • dinners out
    • giant BBQ gathering

    People and cats share a common trait, as far as I’m concerned: just a giant group of dicks, species wise, but there are some really cool individuals in there.

    People who understand what UUUU means (or, better said, were there since its conception and contributed to its popularity by shitposting like the rest of us) are my e-tribe, lol. IRL, I’ll claim anyone with a conscience. 🤷
