I can see what you mean. I suppose I have difficulty reconciling with the emotional pain of social exclusion.

But your right, it is awesome. I wouldnt want to be born a different way (neurotypical), because that wouldnt be me.

Rubbing carpet. I can basically taste it I hate it so much lol. If i need to rub something out of the carpet I need to put on headphones

noai duckduck go

I see what your saying, its just my friends have no interest in signal (tried a few times) so messenger is a compromise.

Hmmm ok. I did talk to my brother and he has the same thing, and as far as im aware he isnt autistic/ADHD. Our parents argued a lot so maybe its from that lol

In my previous relationship we did that, as my ex was even more conflict adverse, so we decided arguments can take as long as we want (could transition the argument to text).

It worked well enough I suppose.

But yeah, it doesnt pop up much

Oh yeah i just mean delete the app to make me stop looking at it. It was an addiction for me. Well, not facebook but instagram was.

There is an end to end encrypted feature, with a 6 digit pin to decrypt the keys I believe. a 6 digit pin isnt the most secure, but its better then nothing for typical conversations.

Annoyingly there is a feature that u can summarise texts with using AI, which ofc breaks privacy, but u can turn off message sharing (meaning you and the other person can no longer do that)

A few glaring alarm bells around privacy on messenger, but again, better then nothing.

The toxicity of instagram and the hollow content on facebook made me delete them. I still have messenger however, since convincing people to install signal is difficult, and also it is useful to communicate with new friends (considering the alternative is unencrypted sms)

But wow its so good to be off it

I neeeed to do my hobbies/special interests otherwise I will collapse into a black hole

Signal. Requires little technical knowledge, other then knowing about end to end encryption and why its important

I would like to use matrix since if anything, I think its cool. But noone I know would be remotely interested.

All messages on discord are just chillin on their servers. Age verification or no age verification your privacy was already dead

Also, quite unfortuntely, nearly 100% of the people around me use AI.

Tbh I kiiind of do that with everyone. Well, not quite, I take what they say with a big grain of salt and just continue the conversation. A couple exceptions: they are experts in what they’re talking about. Or, its some personal experience

If you haven’t already, chuck linux onto some laptop/pc. In the future we may have OS level age verification needed and linux should be more immune

Saying its for CSAM detection purposes is so devious. People absolutely see that and support it because naturally if your against this your supporting the proliferation of CSAM, which of course ridiculous given more then 1 minute of thought.

They aren’t socialist and the govs that oversaw the decline were conservatives.

But yeah, I agree it would be one hell of a logistical and political undertaking. I suspect they could try state by state. That might make it more politically managable at least.

I have sent my resignation letter

I walked into that one

Your an idiot
