I feel like I live on the Internet and I never see this shit. Either it doesn't exist or I exist on a completely different plane of the net.
You ever somehow get invited to a party you'd usually never be at? With a crowd you.never ever see? This is that.
No?
Also no 😥
Understandable, have a nice day
Why not just say "no, thank you" to such an invitation?
Well obviously you'd leave pretty immediately. A friend's has never invited you somewhere new/ unknown?
Because that's how you meet new people?
That's the neat part. As an introvert I hate meeting new people. On the other hand I'm happy to meet different pixel blobs on my screen.
Yeah but sometimes you need stuff from the outside world like food and shit. God forbid you like drugs as an introvert... lol that's a painful quandary
Shopping is easy. Everything online, food on self checkout. Drugs are luckily not my thing.
On the Internet, censorship happens not by having too little information, but too much information in which it is difficult to find what you want.
We all have only so much time to spend on the Internet and so necessarily get a filtered experience of everything that happens on the Internet.
Are you saying that not being exposed to things you don't want is censorship?
No, that is not what I'm saying, mostly because I don't think it is true. I'm saying that nowadays there is nearly all kinds of information one can think of somewhere out there on the Internet; but if it is only in relatively obscure places and you don't know where to look for it, then it is still de facto censored by having too much other information out there.
I dont think that can be called censorship as it is not deliberate suppression of info, it's just being drowned out or ignored.
