As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!
i do it with linkedin. i know it corny af, but i created that profile when linkedin was brand new in the early aughts and got all of my friends to join me so that i could find work back then; since then, it's turned into a repository of everyone i've ever known since 1996 because of it.
facebook would have probably served the same purpose if i had not gotten rid of it years ago.
Edit: I just realized you were responding to my question and I read it wrong. Yeah, none of my friends are on LinkedIn, and I think the most of them are on instagram and facebook which I donāt really use these days.
Original response: Thatās a good idea, but the friend I approached to be GM said sheās actually taken classes on how to run RPGs through messenger apps like Discord. Iām having her look at Matrix though, just for good measure.
Too much time has past and distance traveled. Good luck on your group, Iām envious
Too much time has past and distance traveled.
If you donāt mind me asking - why do you say that? IMO, good friends can always pick up where they left off, even if the conversation isnāt as interesting as when you were kids.
Weāre talking like 20+ years too late and an entire country between. I wouldnāt even know what to say anymore. Got caught up with my career and now friends just seem so inaccessible. I will admit Iām an introvert and have lots of social anxiety so that hasnāt helped the situation.
I get what youāre saying. I just called a friend I havenāt talked to in 10 years, and it was fine, but 20+ years is twice+ as long as that. As for what to say, when youāre that far removed, just catching up on peoplesā lives is the icebreaker. āWhat have you been up to?ā Being an introvert does complicate things, but I guess Iām someone who is not an introvert around my friends.
I donāt want to pressure you, but I do think itās worth giving it a shot if you miss them. Just something to think about! š
Thanks friend
Not them but I recently tried to reach out to a friend after having almost no contact for about four years. He didn't respond to texts or Discord DMs. Asked a mutual friend about it and they said he hates talking to people, which wasn't my experience when I knew him but I guess people change.
Sorry to vent a lil bit but it's been in my head a lot
Thatās sad to hear. I wonder what happened. I guess thereās nothing you can do in situations like that.
