@ploum well I'm currently talking to humans not near me, through one of the oldest electronic media : the radio 😄😎♥️
Works well but I can't hear their replies... So I'll stick with getting some feedback thru social networks and e-mails ! 😁

@ploum

Glad to know that we finally finished the internet.

@ploum But it's raining!

@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.

@ploum

@pluralistic wrote that book! Or was it @scalzi ? 🤔
📚⌨🙆🏻‍♀️

@ploum it's getting that way... According to one study some 50% of Internet traffic is bot activity. #deadinternet here we come! https://www.independent.co.uk/tech/dead-internet-web-bots-humans-b2530324.html

@ploum and all that faff and waste of energy to no point since I use an adblocker.

@ploum which supports my theory that the corporation is the dominant organism on this planet.
A bunch of people doing crazy stuff in the hopes of getting more money out of the corporation by making the corporation get more money out of other people.
