Can't vent your frustrations on the Internet anymore - I wanna rant about how the Internet sucks now

[Jerk Sausage]

Conformity is the name of the game in every internet community today. 20 years ago you could show up to a community, not know/care for its rules, political/social leanings, not know what the user sentiment was, and just be your own character. As long as you were funny/interesting, it was engaged with. Even if your character was "guy who vents frustrations into the void and just wants advice", if there were enough sincere people in a community, they might take you seriously.

Now there's a checklist before engaging with anyone:

• What are his politics?
• Is he being sincere? Is this a troll?
• Is this guy being a cuck? Is he a hedonist? Is he Christian? Has he read the stoics?
• Is he fat? Is he gay? Is he an addict? Is he Indian? Does he commit wrongthink?
• Is this guy a fan of [internet personality]?
• Is this guy aware that this topic has been covered in [link]?
• Has this guy just Googled, asked AI, or seen the video that covers this topic?

If you fail any of the smell-tests in that community, you are met with derision prior to actual engagement.

Have you thought of creating a characters.ai account? The chatbots can serve as a therapist, friend, partner, and so much more.

Don't do this, you autistic fuck. Find an actual person to talk to. The gangster computer god just wants to siphon all your energy and turn you into a mindless zombie husk that relies on it for comfort and support

I agree, deanonymization and its consequences have been a disaster for the online race.

You're in luck!
You're on the one website where you actually can vent.
And like you've said, most people will mock you or whatever but in between those, there will be some who listen and engage in conversation genuinely.

Sucks "now"?
Old fags in tears

I just wish the Internet wasn't so fucking gay. Any and every opinion is construed (or misconstrued) as wrong according to Marx/Hitler. Or anything and everything is datamined by some retarded bot so another bot can try to sell you shit you don't even want.

Dude, there's always Gab. They let you say anything there. And I do mean ANYTHING.

Wow so many awesome replies! I'm in a better headspace now than when i wrote the post.

And that's where a priest can help you. That plus he himself has sins and has fallen short (which we all have), so he might have experienced a situation that's troubling you.

Even in the paradise of the old internet example you gave, 99.9% of the users in that forum were merely trying to get a rise via lolis or shitposting, with a Good Samaritan popping in once in awhile. This isnt to ruin your nostalgia for it, just saying that people were always ironyposting or trying to play up silly things rather than being serious online.

Oh yea bro, people love to do silly shit on the internet, but the Good Samaritans always stood out to me. I don't feel like you can ruin good nostalgia lol
And you're right about priests understanding your situation, and having their own. I think that psychology was originally a religious practice. "Why don't some people want to align themselves with God? What are they thinking?"

Are you gonna get mindbroken by Bluey next and write a review of adventure time?

Yes, and you CANT STOP ME

It's because people have become afraid of sincerity and being sincere themselves. Even on 4chan anons aren't capable of sincerity anymore, it doesn't matter that they're anonymous, they still have to keep up a facade of toughness and put the shield in front of them at all times. Everyone retreats to themselves because it's the easiest way to not become hurt. People will even pretend to be retarded as to safeguard their actual views, everything but exposing yourself in the open.

They can't even be anonymous anymore. It's like everywhere you go you have to be prepared to defend everything you might say, because someone might wanna tell your boss you have a difference in opinion. It's astounding how much control leftie thought-processes have over just social interactions. maybe that's why they called themselves Social Justice Warriors, Social Democrats, Socialists, etc

Have you thought of creating a characters.ai account? The chatbots can serve as a therapist, friend, partner, and so much more.

I really don't want to know if I'm both dumb enough and autistic enough to fall in love with AI. I can be fooled as much as the next guy....

I have over 500 audio recordings. Usually late at night or early in the morning, I'll sit down with a beer or a coffee and discuss whatever I've been thinking about lately. I generally never even listen to them, but recording them is massively satisfying and relaxing. It's especially relaxing because it's private, it doesn't matter if I misspeak, and I don't have to defend every single little thing from some retarded faggot who just wants to pick things apart and be pedantic. I know what I mean, and that's all that matters. I know it sounds totally schizo, OP, and sometimes it feels that way, but I recommend it in full. It's not so different from having a journal or a diary.
