Rant How do internet friendships work?

You can make friends online, just not here, unfortunately.
I met my best friend of 8 years from a minecraft server when I was like 10 years old.
Maybe you can't, but plenty of people here have. You just come off as a bit abrasive sometimes.

But no seriously, pretty much nobody here actually wants to be friends and it's kind of a huge problem, everyone here has this really shitty ideology that you can't be friends with people on the internet which doesn't work well for me considering all the friends I've ever had were on the internet and I never made any friends going to schools at all. So the fact that nobody seems to want to be friends, everyone is extremely inconsiderate and everyone most likely has friends in real life and that's all they know is just incredibly inconvenient to the point where you probably would be better off going to Discord or something like that.
 
They don't. Internet friends aren't real friends. They are aquaintances at most. Real friends are ppl you know in person and spend time with in person
Dude nobody wants to go out of their way to spend time with me any more in real life because I'm a huge fucking burden physically and mentally. Online friends are all I have.

They are real friends. I have an internet friend for 8 entire years, our Discord group chat must be over like 100 thousand messages long, too bad I just left and never archived all of it, I have a few zingers from him though, but I feel like he's moved on now, it's been a long long long time since I last spoke to him.

Soyjak sites are irony poisoned so obviously it's hard to find genuine people.

Atleast we can genuinely relate to eachother in some way, Fortuna, all jokes aside of course.
For your information, I obviously don't think you're a woman and I'm not gay, but due to the nature of this site, you have to play into the jokes. I wish it wasn't like this, we should be allowed to be serious sometimes.

Same. At least I can meet people who are equally as autistic as me so they won't mind me being an annoying sperg because they also find it funny.

No I don't have to play into the fucking joke of you wanting to have sex with me. It's gay. Stop it.

It's not about you, it's about the other users. I don't have to play into the joke of people trying get me to date or fuck soyteen liker and yet people still do it, the more you deny the joke, the more it gains prevalence. If you're angry at something and want it to go away, you have to play into it, unironically jokes like that don't work if people play into it.
 
I would never make a friend on the internet or at least get in a real friendship with someone because if anything happens they can just leak everything and create unecessary drama.
 
If you really are a woman you picked one of the worst websites to use for some reason.
I didn't come here to make friends, at least not with the intention of doing so although I'm open to it even if I'm not really interested in friendships to begin with. These places are like the only ones that let me say the nigger word anyways without having to be Aryan superwarrior niggerkiller or whatever.
Why the FUCK do people know I'm a woman anyways I only mentioned it like once

Why didn't you play into it then? And you are the one doing this joke.

The reason you are a burden is because you don't just log off and learn to talk to people irl.
 
The only thing online friends are good for, is sharing interests about SNCA that no-one would care about online, that's it.
There's a good reason as to why the internet blew up so quickly in the early to late 90s and it's all down to the simple fact that the internet is the only true dumping ground for SNCA that wouldn't fly elsewhere, there's entire USENET communities still archived on Google Groups till this day showing that this goes all the way back to the 90s with the likes of nerds who were into furry culture and star-trek, so if you feel like having a nose be my guest as hindsights 20/20 and the USENET of yesterday currently reflects the internet of today.
I went down a USENET rabbit hole months ago while reading Archie Sonic as I wanted to know peoples feedback to the issues at the time and by God is it an interesting read, so many people recognizing each other and making friends, only for it all to dissipate with the turn of the millennium as people moved onto greater pastures, it's also an amazing parallel to the issues of today with "online friends" as history is prone to repeat itself and that fact was inevitable with something as repetitive as the internet it, especially now with the whole "hive mind" shit when it comes to communities and political followings. USENET is truly the source to a lot of things on the modern day internet, from slang to communication, and if the sources example of content and friendships dissipating over time and people moving on isn't anything to go by, I don't know what there is to go by.

Here's the USENET group I mentioned prior if it would be of any use to anyone, you can easily use the site the filter results to certain years and phrases, it's quite an interesting way to waste an afternoon and I hope someone else has as much entertainment with it as I have.
