I’m struggling to figure out how to make friends without having Instagram or any other social media. I have discord but don’t use it much. I see all my acquaintances in discord channels and sharing Instagram posts and stuff. It’s already hard for me to make friends, but I feel like not having any of the traditional social media means I’m not included in any of that stuff.

Do you just accept that Instagram and shit are the way people interact and use it?

    That isn’t true at all. Plenty of volunteers are shitty people.

    A group I was recently with just had a huge scandal because someone who joined had a sexual offender records and we were working with kids… he basically fucked everyone over and the entire org had to stop operations for months until every member clear background checks.

      All the best people volunteer. I stand by this. Sorry you had an experience with a shitty person also volunteering. Part of non-profit management is dealing with shitty volunteers.

        ok, now we have moved to ‘if you don’t volunteer you are less than as a person.’

        seriously, volunteering has zero to do with one’s moral worth in life. tons of good people never volunteer. lots of shitheads do. volunteering isn’t some inherently moral/good act. lots of people volunteer for shitty reasons and do shitty things.
