I tried messaging a Finlander about a very successful mod for a videogame to thank them for making it. DM's closed, comments disabled, tracks buried 😅 they ain't having it. authentic experience

As a Finn I can say that you’re only supposed to give ”constructive feedback” which means pointing out mistakes. Any compliment will be taken as sarcasm.

That's sad, but I get it. Thanks for clueing me in

It was a bit exaggerated but true to an extent

I remember when the internet was new, I'd make friends with random people I'd "meet". Like, I'd play Diablo with some rando on battle.net and then we'd stay in touch. Now it seems more ephemeral. Maybe it's just because I'm older.

As a young teen, I arranged irl meets with people from band guestbooks and friends-of-friends-of-friends from MSN pretty frequently.

Dumb, looking back, but all turned out to be who they said they were and good times were had. Would be super concerned if my kid did the same and he's literally an adult now, so idk.

One of my best friends I met in a DRG lobby. We don't really even play DRG anymore, we do talk almost every day, sometimes they call and talk with me while I fall asleep (wildly different time zones). Don't even know their name lol

My first internet experience was ‘96ish. My buddy’s dad was an HP engineer and had the stuff before a lot of people did. My buddy’s dad logged on, went into a chatroom, and the first thing I ever saw was a sex roleplay of Peter Pan and Wendy and some incest porn. Since then, nothing on the World Wide Web has surprised me. Been a few things I could have gone without seeing though 😕

I met my best friends over the internet in my late 20s during the pandemic. But it was a d&d lfg group and we're just the ones who actually played. I actually spend a month living with one of them when I moved out west last year

I had a really good DND group during the pandemic. Probably the best game I ever ran. But it was online, and when the pandemic called down they all just drifted away. Very sad about it, honestly.
