Your therapist was an ignoramous. Probably very well meaning, but seriously? (I hope this was A While Ago. If it was recent—I would seriously question their bona fides.)
I met one of my two best friends in rec.arts.sf.babylon5 (which dates me/us, yes.)
I had an advantage in being plugged into a segment of #ScienceFiction #fandom that were early adopters (back when it was reasonable to do that). So the transition from RL to The Net was nearly seamless for me. >

@Cetraria @dacig @JellyTBeagle I've now lost track of a large chunk of that community bc they've all gone over to Bluesky & I refuse to follow, until the issues @pluralistic names are addressed. I am deeply disappointed by them, but OTOH I get it, bc a lot of them are authors, so audience size is an important factor. But that they didn't have the spine to exercise some leadership—well. People gonna people, whaddya gonna do?
