this is why I like socials where you subscribe to communities for some topic, a lot more than microblog style ones

There are almost no individuals I care to hear from often enough to subscribe to their feeds. There are some that post as part of their profession, and those can be acceptable.

I can't get myself to delete phone numbers/contacts. So I constantly see Whatsapp statues of random people. My old landlord celebrated New Year skiing with his family. The chick I bought a crocheted bunny from had a plastic Christmas tree. The girl who moved into my old apartment is trying to start off an OF by promoting content on Telegram. Slackperson got enganged. Some dude is a pilot. It's sniplets out of stranger's lives and I wonder whether they are aware what they are sharing with strangers.

I don't follow any influencers and never had instagram or there like, only Reddit and Lemmy, so this is as much exposure to parasocial relationships as I get.

It only works if you connect with enough people

No thanks. I'm people and I'm terrible. Why would I want to meet more people then just me?

[–] GuyDudeman@lemmy.world 16 points 3 months ago

You’re welcome.

This is exactly why I keep my bleak personal life and extreme political views to myself.
