why am i doing this on the chill communism tl!!!

a thing i miss about public twitter is the feeling of coming across a new person or getting involved in a conversation organically? i guess that's something i could go for here?

feel like there's a lot of nostalgia for old IRC / forum cultures which i get, they were a unique environment and some good stuff grew from those places, but idk. i think that misremembers how toxic they could often be by virtue of weird power relationships and cliques and venues for complaining about each other.
