    This already exists it’s called face to face communication. You can do it in private spaces like living rooms or bars. You can also find public spaces like parks and transit. If you’re shy look into activities related to hobbies.

      Yeah, just let me head over to the local 20k-member community for a mobile game that hasn’t been updated in 5 years real quick. You know, the one that every city has.

      Love it or hate it, the reality is that the genie ain’t goin back into the bottle.

      So might as well make sure that genie is nice and friendly, open source, portable, interoperable, non-manipulative, and non-threatening.

        Yup the fediverse is the best it’s been since social media consolidated online discussion and independent forums faded away. I still strongly suggest developing relationships within your real world community because it is very easy to be deceived and exploited online even if the technology isn’t doing it intentionally.
