    Hostile infrastructure to cyclists and pedestrians is commonplace outside of a few nations.

    Phone plans are far more expensive compared to VOIP/messaging platforms, and snail mail? Where’d you get that idea, dinosaur?

    Face to face conversations are very uncommon outside of events which require peers (work, education), so unlike, say, a group message chat, far more coordination is needed for something that may not be possible for all participants.

    Community centers are dead, at least in north america, and sports are gatekept.

    I could go on, but online third spaces are my generation’s escape from the horrible reality we find ourselves in. Sorry we don’t live in the 90s or earlier anymore, dino.
