yes, but that assumes that there is some human quality to the internet. yes, we post emojis and people love cat pics, but there's still something inherently plastic about all of this - something deeply human that is lost in binary translation, which is why it's important that we hold on to simple things like using our voices and making eye contact IRL.

Conversely there is something deeply inhuman about the way people IRL constantly lie to each other (often hidden behind euphemisms like "politeness" or "etiquette") and only talk to those where the first visual impression conforms to their prejudices on who might be interesting or pleasant to talk to.
