The internet is really boring at the moment. Whenever I refresh Facebook nothing changes on the screen. I mean, there are social restrictions going on right now, you would have thought everyone would be online. But it's all quiet. I just want to read new material, find out gossip, see new pictures of people's children and pets, anything. Where is everyone?
And Wrong Planet is no better. The only active subforums here are PPR which I stay clear from, news and current events which are all just about Trump, off the wall games which don't interest me (it would if participating wasn't included as a post), and the "last thing you ate" type of threads in the random discussion. Some subforums haven't been posted in for days.
So many members of WP complain about Facebook and Instagram, but still abandon discussion forums to join those types of social media. I'd have thought that during the COVID crisis all large forums and social media sites would be busier. But no. Don't people socialise any more?
It's pretty slim pickings on here if I'm honest. I joined because I thought it would provide some social interaction.
Stopped using Facebook. There's only so many pictures of people's dinner I can stomach. And let's not forget all the racist bullsh1t people post on there.
