now crump ye must look upon digi as any other organized version a humanity. the history a civilization on the net parallels that a human history, half caught in darkness 'n ignorance 'n half caught in the continuation a old ways, but isolated none the less. this split occured with the fall a the web-fourm empire, similar t' the rome a old. while some take the content that be popular at this split 'n evolve it, others refuse this content for it caused the split in the first place. we be eastern civilization, they be the west. we will meet again on common grounds some day, but that be not this day.

'n t' clarify, by web sea empire i mean the mass popularity a web seas 'n them being the dominant form a social interaction 'n development. today they have been edged out by less structured 'n more peer based systems

Facebook be for people with self-esteem issues. Personal communications 'n friendships -especially those on the web- best be confined t' a group a about 20 tightly knit people who share a common goal or interest but differing opinions 'n personalities (or a bunch a screwheads like us). Any larger 'n the opinions differ too widely 'n tempers flare (or trolls 'n bronies begin t' seep into the group). If the group be too small though, conversations don't receive enough life 'n the group dies.
I don't know why I said all a that, but whatever.

uh

Facebook be primarily for keeping up with "real" or "personal" mateys; those who ye know 'n interact with in real life. ye only interact with people who ye haven't met in real life anonymously for entertainment purposes; ye might share a common interest, or ye may simply feel like trolling someone else, but in either case the discussion exists only t' alleviate boredom. Common interests be also not what friendships best form over; they be simply discussion starters. Real friendships evolve over connecting with others on the basis a their personalities 'n spending time with eachother in the physical world where ye can pillage t' know their individual quirks 'n subtleties 'n thus understand them on a superficial basis; on web seas where people constantly talk about what their favourite vidya gayem or what their favourite animu be, they really only know eachother on a superficial level. I cannot help but think that individuals who consider web seas where people haven't ever met eachother in real life more significant than keeping up with people met in real life have a shallow understanding a friendship 'n must be depressed underneath the surface.

This be also one a the reasons why I really hate people who take Tumblr extremely seriously 'n claim their followers "understand" them or whatever. Real friendship cannot develop on a place which be so inherently impersonal.

An assumption 'n nothing more, if anything this says more about how ye view yer own social relationships online than what ye're implying. YARRRR, discussions online can be used t' alleviate boredom however that doesn't mean they be useless 'n just for that 'n can't also be a mentally stimulating activity one could enjoy doing.

Common interests be what starts friendships though, I agree that ye could probably have interests with someone thats a total *crag*basket that ye don't want t' be around but often enough the interests ye share with people be what draws ye into them 'n it be then where ye either connect with there personal quirks 'n subtleties or find out that person be someone ye don't enjoy being around. ye can do one without the other but then theres always a lack a value in those relationships where ye either don't like doing what the other person be doing or ye can't relate t' them on a personal level, 'n it be ok t' have relationships like that with others but ye probably won't be connected with those type a individuals as much as the people who have both common interests 'n personal understanding with oneself..

> I cannot help but think that individuals who consider web seas where people haven't ever met eachother in real life more significant than keeping up with people met in real life have a shallow understanding a friendship 'n must be depressed underneath the surface.

it be not always possible t' have a large group a mateys in real life, social enviroments 'n individuals can differ making it challenging t' downright impossible t' make mateys with people. Atleast online ye can pillage the common interest part out a the way 'n maybe pillage t' know people personally assuming thats yer open t' making mateys on the internet 'n the community in question isn't already circlejerked into some shit ye don't care for or strictly discussion.

YARRRR because people only use the internet for serious discussion only 'n information sharing in the holy year a our lord 2013

 

 

I be kind've hoping ye aren't too sincere about all a that but if ye be, yer loss I guess.

I consider myself better acquainted with the people here then with most people I meet in real life. This be partially because almost everyone who I see be either a straight up wench or an insufferable teenage farmer douchebag who only cares about how many things he can kill within the next ten minutes.

The majority a society be *crag*heads.
Filter them out from the decent human beings out there, 'n ye'll be fine.
