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.


What makes it terrible? I’ve been really enjoying it, I actually prefer it to discord even aside from privacy/morality aspects
It freezes a lot, the search is awful, messages just stop loading forcing a restart, verification is a joke
Not to mention that it’s not very user friendly, none of the clients are designed to be as nice and user friendly as Discord’s
Sounds like a home server problem. I host my own and literally have none of the issues.
Huh I haven’t tried the search, but otherwise haven’t noticed any of those problems - one of the reasons I like it more than discord is actually how much more responsive and less bloated it is. I use element as a client and a smaller homeserver, but even messaging people from other homeservers it’s been very solid for me. Sorry to hear your experience with it has been worse
