    • I work from home
    • My hobbies are solitary
    • I refuse to use proprietary platforms (discord)

    Being a recluse sucks, thankfully I live with my fiancee but it often isn’t enough.

        Everything you said is fine except the last sentence which isn’t just wrong but literally came out of nowhere.

        Edit: maybe you mixed up the word “ethical” with something else?

            The thing that is immediately solvable is to go meet people on proprietary platforms.

            We are communicating on Lemmy… it seems possible to meet people off proprietary platforms.

            Which they are avoiding for ethical reasons. It is not possible to be perfectly ethical and happy.

            This feels a bit like telling a vegetarian to go eat a steak.

    I met my SO playing online games. We played pretty much every day together for 6 years then moved in together.

    I understand this doesn’t work for everyone and you need to be careful but truly I met my partner through discord
