Is this guy a real person? He never posts anything or replies to anyone, but he seems to favorite and repost everything I post or repost.
Just looking at his timeline, it's all reposts and most of it is either stuff I've posted or boosted. Though given that "lurker" is in his handle, maybe he just prefers to lurk and view other people's post.
If this guy is real, hopefully he doesn't get offended by me talking about him. I just don't like the feeling of being stalked by some bot.
@berkberkman I never understood the purpose of book clubs. Back in elementary school, our teachers encouraged us to form book clubs with our classmates, but I found the thing pointless because it was just everyone agreeing to read the same book and talk about our progress. I always hated it because I was scolded if I read past the "checkpoint" we were supposed to reach by next meeting.
@beardalaxy At least you are at the place. I used to work in fast-food when those events are held and said events brought people from across the region and by proxy people looking for something to eat afterward, so I had no chance of visiting.
@berkberkman People go to the library to study in a quiet place, not to socialize and connect with other people.
Most people who go to the library these days are high school and college students looking for a quiet place to study. They are probably living with other people and they have no control over the volume of their housemates/roommates. Either that, or they're homeless people looking for Internet access.
@PurpCat@j This, along with CP spam is what's going to kill the independent Internet. Sure they're might be some people who do this for their enjoyment, but I bet there are some glowies out there who are taking advantage of the situation (remember that Google is literally a CIA creation).
@j I'm starting to think that there is a deliberate attempt to ruin every private email service using bomb threats and other illegal shit. Cock.li went invite-only for a while because of it and I've heard of other services resorting to either going invite-only, manually approved registrations, or shutting down entirely.
I am so fucking sick and tired of people complaining that modern society doesn't provide anything of leisure other than hyper-consumerism.
Bro, everywhere I go, whether it is a rural, suburban, or urban area there are festivals and other locally-held events taking place or are scheduled and many (if not most) of them are hosted on weekends so there is no excuse. Those are the perfect places to meet new people and bring culture to your life. Not everything has to be soulless. You're just way too afraid to get out of your comfort zone.
@j Just to let you know that registrations have been disabled for a while. I'm not sure if that is a result of the auto install or if it was a deliberate decision.
@PurpCat@jeff That's also partially due to other stuff in the infrastructure bill which is jacking up the prices, along with inflation. Seriously that infrastructure bill is a declaration of war on drivers.
