to add to what @[email protected] said: because here, I get to decide exactly how much interacting with people I’m willing to engage in and have multiple ways of controlling who I do so with (blocking certain instances so I don’t see their posts, blocking smartassed trolls, etc.)
Not really, though… There’s all kinds of social rules to follow and if you’re hosting people, while potentially valid, if you at one point just say “alright, everyone out, I’ve had enough” you ruin it for all the people who wanted to hang out.
If you go on a asynchronous anonymous online forum, you can stop interacting at any point for any reason and everyone will be fine with it and not care.
Well, then you don’t invite them to your house, you hang out anywhere else in the world and when you are tired you say “alright, I’m gonna head home, have a good one everyone”. Like a normal person, you know?
It doesn’t matter where you are. When you go to another place it’s the same, you are not at home instantly when you start to leave, you have to ride buses and trains where there is more people.
Would be cool to have the money to afford a car or motorcycle and their respective licenses/insurance/gas/etc.
And walking or bicycling 30+km? Some people don’t have close friends.
And when traveling, in any case, you’re still pretty exposed and have to go around lots of people.
I’m not saying you’re entirely wrong, there’s definitely ways to make it easier. But also you seem to just not be aware how different some people’s perceptions/feelings are.
I’m not sure what you’re arguing for here, you really can’t be arguing against online interactions being muuuuch easier, that seems to just be obvious. And some people can only handle these easiest kinds of interactions.
Even if you make other kinds interactions easier, that’s just not enough for some people. Then, internet interactions are amazing.
I want to leave just like volore. However I don’t want to die and I don’t want to hurt those I love by dying. I read and post as a distraction from all of this ridiculousness that I cannot change.
My point being - the fact that you are posting on here, a social media site, filled with people, is proof positive that you do not actually want to live a completely isolated life.
If you actually wanted a life without people, you would also be giving up pretty much everything on the internet, as well as all books, movies, tv, and music, as these are also forms of interacting with people.
Missing the whooooole fucking point. Nobody here says they don’t want to ever interact with humans again. GTFO with that “uhh actually technically you are wrong løl” bullshit, these are definitely valid takes for people to have on modern society, shit, they’re in abundant company.
If this is true, why are you here on lemmy, leaving comments and interacting with society?

I love this comic so fucking much, it perfectly encapsulates that dude, his ilk, and their mentality.
You just described hanging out with friends

Let’s just be normal real quick :D
It doesn’t matter where you are. When you go to another place it’s the same, you are not at home instantly when you start to leave, you have to ride buses and trains where there is more people.
Or you have to get onto a road full of people who should never have been allowed to get a license.
Or drive a car, or motorbike, or bicycle, or you walk. With noise canceling headphones.

Another one who thinks he’s going to die without society?!
That’s me your honor. (⌐■_■)
