Clarification of what I mean:

It just so happens that I have a job, although not the best one, and it’s not an office job, but it has a good schedule that gives me free time to think and create, although I guess the bottom line is that I’ve also learned how to use my free time for my own purposes without wasting it on unnecessary distractions like TV, Talking about nothing, about unnecessary anxieties, and so on. I recently started doing digital hygiene, switched to Linux a week ago, but I used to be able to chat with Discord people at least once in a while, even if the people there were quite boring, but it somehow helped me get rid of loneliness, but since I no longer trust Discord due to a data breach, I have no idea how to find people online for long-term communication in other places. Do you have any tips?

Let’s also take into account that my hobby is writing a light novel.

And yes, I touched the grass, but I like fresh air more.

    There’s Matrix, XMPP, Delta Chat and IRC. IRC is oldschool and popular, you have channels like on Discord but you can only send text. If you want we can message together or create some group chat. I also looking for people to chat outside Discord. My matrix is @ml0dy:noevil.pl, XMPP mlody@hakier.pl and IRC #zimno on Libera Chat.

    Matrix chat is pretty popular on the fediverse. I don’t have any specific communities to recommend, but I’m sure there’s a suitable one out there.

    Look up an app called Revolt. It’s like discord but designed with focus on privacy and open sourced development.

    If you don’t need an exact 1 for 1, you could try Telegram and Signal. People post qr codes for groups in that app all the time

      Revolt/Stoat dropped the ball by not supporting federation and not choosing that from the beginning IMO. It could have been such a huge opportunity if they had built that in from the beginning, I’d drop matrix for it

        that’s such a terrible name choice haha… apparently it’s a cute lil animal, but searching for it, the chat service doesn’t even show up in the search results at all (because well… it’s a real animal). there’s also already a software called stoat (though it’s a github build metrics viewer app and not a chat app)

        but imagine trying to convince people to switch to stoat… “add me on stoat!”

          “add me on stoat!”

          “Yeah bro I’m so stoakt!” Huh, that’s almost a better name LOL.

          First Riot chat, now Revolt.

          Funny how rebelliously flavored chat alternatives that challenge the centralized status quo keep getting put down!
