    Ah yes, those disabled people who are unable to leave their house, living their lives on the internet. They should just get out more! I’m sure they’ll be grateful that you’ve solved their problems for them.

    Try broadening your viewpoint a little?

    Impersonal social media like reddit, lemmy, twitter, and mastodon is nice sometimes. We can have a conversation without the conventions, responsibilities, and limitations that comes with real life socializing.

    I can decide for myself how long I want to think of a reply. And a reply isn’t even expected, I can choose not to respond if something makes me uncomfortable to talk about. Nor do I have to wait my turn to converse, or be spoken over. I dont have to remember faces or names. Nor remember peoples background or recent events or drama they’ve been involved in. Theres no judgment on age, looks, ability, or gender (unless I disclose it of course). And its possible to fact check stuff while discussing, no need to wait until after to realize someone is trying to misinform.

    Imho, all this turns toxic when companies involve “recommended feeds” like they often do.

      This shit isn’t even shower thoughts. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a proper shower thoughts on here. Just people saying normal shit or whining like this person.
