I used to think the problem was me.

I'd join social apps, talk to a few people, and then eventually lose interest because every interaction started feeling the same. Everyone seemed to be collecting matches more than actually getting to know each other.

Recently, I Bumpedin to a much smaller platform and had a few unexpectedly thoughtful conversations there.

Nothing life-changing happened. I didn't suddenly make ten new friends. But for the first time in a while, I enjoyed talking to strangers on the internet again.

Maybe we're all just craving spaces that feel a little more human.

Curious if anyone else has had a similar experience.
