Snarky trolling isn’t my usual MO. It’s real. Thanks for the comment. I have online ‘friends’… or at least, human contact. Does that count.

As someone who's been in both boats, it counts, but I wouldn't rely on it forever. Having friends in person is way more... human, I guess?

Probably better if you have regular voice/video chats. Haven't been in that middleground.

I used to have a good friend but he shot himself a few years ago. It takes a long time for me to make proper friends. Lemmy is actually pretty chill. It’s been nice just chatting with people here. Less toxic than another place I won’t mention.

I'm really sorry for the loss of your friend. :(

I really hope that wonderful people find their way into your life, and you can find meaningful connections with kindred spirits. <3
