@danielx You know, I often thought that way, too, until discovering Mastodon. I've felt far less lonely since then, and I believe other lonely people I've connected with have too. At least I hope they have.

@Euphoria true, it could just be that we trick ourselves into wanting more and the friendships are in our hearts all along :)

@danielx Well, it's nice to be in touch with people that seem to share our interests, values & goals. Sure helps to keep conversation interesting, doesn't it?

@Euphoria for sure, though it's a careful balance to not accidentally get lost in an echo chamber. That's why Mastodon is really interesting to me right now, a large intersection of all kinds of people exploring the internet together

@danielx @Euphoria start translating the all the Japanese and you find a whole other land over there.
