@hardbass2k8 @shpuld I think the problem is we've become surrounded by an overabundance of highly addictive stimuli that is easier to acquire. This is the same reason (in part) why people are participating less in things like clubs and other organizations that used to be extremely popular.
-
@moonman @shpuld @hardbass2k8 You used to get extremely bored if you weren't working or with friends though, so after a certain point in life, when friends start being busy with their own life and thus not available to spend the best part of their day together, people needed some social environment to make up for that. We don't need to pay a fee and travel for social interaction now though, due to internet and phones and all that.
-
@nerthos @moonman @shpuld @hardbass2k8 People have more sexual partners but less sex total.
-
@nerthos @shpuld @hardbass2k8 online is a poor substitute for actual socialization, but it is good enough to keep many people from doing it.
-
@moonman @shpuld @hardbass2k8 Well I mean, a lot of people have online interactions when they can't be bothered to go out, but still meet with friends on a semi-regular basis. I do that at least. Couldn't talk with all the people I want to talk to if I had to rely exclusively on meatspace, and my knowledge and grasp of the world would also suffer a lot due to being only exposed to locals.
-
@nerthos @shpuld @hardbass2k8 It is good until it prevents socialization because it is easier. It's not black or white.
-
@moonman @shpuld @hardbass2k8 It's true that some people don't know of moderation in that regard. Perhaps we should try to encourage meeting online friends more on a society level rather than discourage it if people can't handle both an online and a physical social life at once.
-
@nerthos @moonman @hardbass2k8 that said, #gsconee was fun
-
@shpuld @moonman @hardbass2k8 We should get someone with too much money on here so we can make an international gscon.
-
@nerthos @moonman @hardbass2k8 anyone friends with notch on twitter or something
-
@shpuld @moonman @nerthos @hardbass2k8 Are you going to try to get him here? That would be dope af
-
@ayy @moonman @nerthos @hardbass2k8 well he was just the first person I thought of when nerthos said someone with too much money
-
@shpuld @moonman @nerthos @hardbass2k8 good point.
-
@shpuld @moonman @nerthos @hardbass2k8 What is he up to now anyway?
-
@ayy @shpuld @nerthos @hardbass2k8 the other day I saw him tweet that #pizzagate was real.
-
@moonman @shpuld @nerthos @hardbass2k8 He'd fit right in!

@nerthos @shpuld @hardbass2k8 there are more fediverse people I want to meet. But most I'd have to travel to Europe (sure, why not)
-
@moonman @shpuld @hardbass2k8 Yeah, it's an issue, economical mostly. Had I the money I would have already offered a lot of people here to meet up.
-
@nerthos @moonman @hardbass2k8 going to eesti to meet a handful of online friends was freat because it cost me around 100 eur to get there and back (train+ferry), then not to mention not having to pay for a hotel when I could sleep at someone else's place
-
@shpuld @moonman @hardbass2k8 The good side of living in europe. It'd cost me about us$1000 just in planes to meet most people here.
-
@nerthos @moonman @hardbass2k8 yeah, even going further like flying to germany wouldn't cost me near that much
