Hihi
Has anyone had any success in mitigating/combating loneliness with online communities or friends?
I am stuck in an awful part of the US where community was already nonexistent, now with covid doing any actual activity with other people in public is not an option.
In the past this has sent me into severe depressive spirals and, while it isn’t that bad currently, it is something i’d like to change.
but it seems like most people have migrated to reddit (which i dont like), discord (which i dont really get), and maybe a few random forums on the internet (which i dont know about).
So like is this doable/feasible? or is there no realistic option besides finding a coping mechanism?
If you’re trans, I’d easily recommend the trans mega and matrix server. Matrix is pretty much a discord server but is still good imo. Those two are where all my internet friends come from.
I mentioned this in my other comment but does it have guidelines on who can enter it? I know a few comms on Hexbear are like that.
Also to be honest i didn’t exactly click with all of this site in the past however i supposed that could have changed
Only guideline is being trans. If you are, you’re all good! The culture on tracha is also somewhat different from this site, in a way that could appeal to you. It’s just as safe a space as hexbear, if not safer.
If you need help with setup and such, feel free to DM me, it’s not too difficult.
Does being agender or nonbinary count?
Absolutely! We have many on there, any trans or gender-diverse people are welcome (same for the trans community on this website).
Cool, does the link in the trans comm sidebar work or is it something else i have to do?
Yea! It’ll link you to the rentry page, which has links to all of the rooms, as well as links on how to set up an account if you need to. Of course, you can still DM me if you need any help. Looking forward to seeing you there!
