where... where *is* everybody? 

I think one of the things that's been really getting to me is the contraction of my social life online.

I haven't really been reaching out here, I keep changing Twitter accounts and losing people in the process, and for real-time chat I'm just hanging on to Telegram even though most people seem to have moved on.

So. Where is everyone? Are you all on Discord? Are there ANY good chatrooms there or anywhere else? Is there ANY roleplaying left except for F-List?

@zebratron2084 For what it's worth you aren't alone in this feeling; I don't know how I made friends circles on Twitter and Mastodon as I don't seem to know how to get them to grow anymore. Am on Telegram for a couple friends and some dwindling groups (@Austin_Dern), and I just got dragged onto Discord for the SpinDizzy group there, which isn't for roleplay but for event-management.

But it does feel like everybody is wherever I am not.

@zebratron2084

don't really know.
I'm basically just here, FA, DA, discord, weasyl (when I remember my password), and discord.

as far as the discord goes I'm really only on the sizecon server, and one for a patreon. I mostly lurk on both.

@zebratron2084 I'm on Telegram. And, when I have energy, still hanging out on Taps. My own MUCK is still up but it's never really been more than a glorified chat.

Would love to talk to you sometime.

re: where... where *is* everybody? 

@chandra Yeah, not poking my head back into HoC is one of my big regrets from the last couple years. It's... it's been kind of a blur.

re: where... where *is* everybody? 

@zebratron2084 It's still there! The option remains open! But yeah, I know what you mean. I'm more than a year behind on some of my email because I bleah.

re: where... where *is* everybody? 

@chandra I still have the address and password tucked away SOMEWHERE in my sprawling To-Do file. n.n;

re: where... where *is* everybody? 

@zebratron2084 Twitter/Masto, Telegram, Discord, mainly. Things do feel dispersed. Taps is still going on strong somehow.

@zebratron2084

Every time I ask myself the same question, I briefly entertain the idea of trying to make a dial-up era BBS specifically for the kind of bullshit our 'crowd' gets up to.

Then I realize it'd take too much work, and people would just poke at it once and then go back to Discord or wherever.

@zebratron2084

Though I guess, rather than being snarky, my answer to that question is: Pretty much nowhere. I sort of organically evolved into a digital hermit somehow.

re: where... where *is* everybody? 

@Phorm Apparently, there's a lot of it about these days. Pretty much everyone's reporting more or less the same thing. There really is just... nothin. I never imagined it would end this way, that all that energy was something that could just... go.

re: where... where *is* everybody? 

@zebratron2084

I wouldn't have thought as much either. And I don't much like it, but...

I dunno. I'm tired.

I'm very tired.

I think we're all very tired.

re: where... where *is* everybody? 

@zx3 Yeah. I wish I could join you on that "throwing rocks out in the cold" network. It sounds like it really suits my mood lately. *hug*

@zebratron2084 Here, Birbhell, and Discord.
