"Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?"
Show threadChao-c'Nov 3
@lobingera It is real fantasy. We just fantasized the wrong things, when we were young. @Daojoan

@xChaos @lobingera @Daojoan I think many of us in the fediverse share a pretty nice fantasy of the internet... sadly, people with orders of magnitude more money took care of that fantasy being drowned out by their technoslop.

@ozzelot yes, but there is unfortunately also the world outside Fediverse... maybe it was always like this and we just didn't care?

@xChaos @lobingera @Daojoan I guess I might just be asking who's the "we" that was fantasizing the wrong things in their youth.

@Daojoan too late, the internet's lifeline depends on it interweaving with every digital aspect of your reality.

Your choice where you do make real life happen. Ever was. Ever is.

@Daojoan Time for 2026:
The internet is a part of real life.
Which is like 1980's, possibly early 2000's if Germans and Russians bothered you.
