@ploum This is snarky and funny but it ignores the fact that for thirty years an awful lot of us enjoyed a huge amount of internet-mediated sociality that was superior or usefully supplementary (for whatever reasons) to the social opportunities available to us in meatspace. It's funny to say "go outside and talk to people again" but a lot of us had reasons that wasn't working so well and now we are decades older so it's even harder. The loss is real and not genuinely a cause for celebration.
