I haven't laughed so hard in weeks

It's a bit sad but yes. Sure, there's Mastodon but even there it doesn't just feel the same.

MetaFilter is such a weird website. I used to love it but that's quite a while in the past.

I feel this loss of community online every day.

Honestly: yes. I just feel bad for people who haven't found their group chats, yet.

Hm.

Huh.

I don't even know what to say anymore

Most sane people don’t enjoy seeing a bunch of random bursts of text from strangers one after the other, but those that do really really love it.

As large platforms emerged — whether they were for search, social, or e-commerce — the deal was that they would make our digital lives easier and, in exchange, we would give them our data, attention, and, increasingly, actual money.

Good god, this is all so bloody stupid.
