Like I don’t really use any other social media, but sometimes (like this past week) I venture outside of my hexbear bubble and I browse twitter, or reddit, or instagram, or tiktok, and holy shit I just browse those websites for a minute or two and feel worse about myself, worse about the world, it honestly seems like everyone on those sites is completely insufferable and every post is designed in some CIA laboratory to make me irrationally angry. Like look, sometimes we can all get annoyed at each other here, and I am no exception to that, and nowhere is perfect, but wow this place is 1000% better than like the majority of the internet, I honestly don’t know how people go through life at this point browsing the regular internet.

    The more time I spend on the internet, the more I’m convinced that it’s so much more useless than we think

    This feels like the internet away from the internet, I think because it gives me late 2010 vibes

    Best described as the misfits that find each other at a party and go smoke imo. God I miss that shit, we’re in such a cyberpunk age

      I would always end up in that lowkey kickback room at big parties in college.

      Hexbear really is that room and the internet is one huge frat rager.

      Every day I cry for this shit. My life used to be just sitting around in the woods smoking all day. Now I just sit at the computer staring at the bleakest shit imaginable (outside of hexbear). Retvrn to stonerdom

        I’m afraid it’s just life as you age (when you live in the decades where weeks happen era)

        Like, think about it. Do you think a Lenin equivalent would have allowed Silicon Valley to get this far?
