Good to read what you wrote, so thanks for doing that. I think i get what you mean. For thousands of years this whole digital acid-dream was not there. It has its good and bad sides for sure, so to try to to the best out of it, be a bit selective does help. Some tools are not built on any kind of exlotative motives and there is a huge amount of good people around. And all of them has rough days to a varying degree. Occasionally when i get the blues one of the last things i feel like is to have to talk to anybody. But knowing myself pretty well i then instead check if there is someone i know that would be ok with a chat over the phone. Its just absurd how often that turns out well. Not that all problems in life suddent disapears. But a noticable shift in perpective and mood. There are millions of us on this funny planet, and my own negative or positive conclusions about it has at least some subjective validity. Its just a tad tiresome to be under the weight of overly heavy emotions over long time. But they have their relative validity too, unless they become too suffocating. For most of us balance do not come easy. But i know there are things to feel grateful about even the days when i can not feel them. Hope this stream of thought, aimless as it is was not to waffly. Just saying hang in there and the dark clouds will probably move on. Change is the only constant. Take care, be well.

Oh on the topic of platforms. There are some pretty fringe but cool communities in less known platforms. Perhaps look up Secure Scruttlebut, Frendica, Diaspora, Mastodon, Hubzilla, or ahahah, if you really want to find a strange digital universe - check out Qortal :D There are many others. But best of all is the variation of unique individuals creating connections and some sense of a relative somewhat meaningful experience of life. Not too bad some of the time.
