>>731699>thank you, you've been quite kind to take the time to listen to my whiney horseshit. i appreciate it.you're welcome anon (˶˃ᆺ˂˶)
>if a miracle happened and i formed a new friendship on the internet it would take quite some time before i even considered letting that person even know anything about me that could potentially identify me, let alone meeting up.i think one-on-one messaging is potentially less safer than groupchats if your initial goal is integrating yourself into a group, but you could have a different threat model i suppose ¯\_(ヅ)_/¯
>im quite open to chatting with strangers but you know privacy is quite a fragile thing nowadays.i feel the same, especially with more and more social media-type platforms requiring a kind of identity proof "to stop bots/ai scraping" (horseshit excuse for datamining, in practice). if image proof becomes mandatory, i've thought about using some kind of ai model to generate a realistic enough image of a human person to "represent myself" but there's the possible issue of compromising your own honesty towards other real people (since this is technically catfishing, and i suppose quite a lot of people are still somewhat sleeping on privacy issues) + in some cases this won't even pass since you're required to open your front camera and provide real-time proof on video (。ᵕ ◞ _◟)
thankfully this is still
somewhat far fetched in my conditions, i get by with an instant messenger to mostly interact with people i've already known irl and have no other social media
>i guess i do like music. i was considering trying to start a hardcore punk band the other day. i play bass and sing and i figured i might put ads up at a local venue looking for other members.if you have a local venue, why no go to shows? hardcore punk is supposed to be one of the more political genres, even if mostly full of libs or "aesthetic" enjoyers. putting up an ad actually sounds like a pretty good idea to me also ꒰ᐢ. .ᐢ꒱
>but yeah i dont even know what my crochety ass would like about being in a room full of strangers who are likely disgusting normoids with no taste. yes i am an elitist.ngl i really think most people at shows like hxc think of them
