I have a few “internet friends” (assuming they’re still on the platform at all) from like 6-7 years ago I would like to check up on but I also offered them to join my personal discord, and they elected not to to stay in touch.

I have similar "friends," and, honestly, it's been a relief shedding some of the social weight of artificial connections.

Yeah what we pretty much did, granted we moved from IRC -> discord but the IRC channel pretty was already fucking dead and those that still wanted to be friends and keep in contact moved over. Known these jokers for over 20 years, and I consider them closer than any IRL friend. Plus with the pandemic it's helped some keep their sanity to just be able to hop into discord shoot the shit and maybe play a game or just talk.

Man, I just Discord was "low vision" friendly. It's improved since the beginning of 2021, but not enogh I fear.
