Hello! This may be very off topic, so feel free to remove! I wanna find more queer friends or even partners… and i dont really know where to look lol

Meeting queer people irl is not really possible for me rn and what would prolly be the go-to places to look for peeps online - reddit and discord, are borderline spyware

I suppose by its nature, this post already kinda acts as an advert, so hi my very real name is CocaineShark and I’m a (learning) ML and a linux n’ art nerd, 19 they/she

    The only services I use are lemmy, matrix and xmpp. I have similar issues with finding queer spaces. I know there is a genzedong matrix space (genzedong.xyz). But aside from that, I do not know of anything else that is active in matrix/xmpp that is both lgbtqa+ focused and not too liberal.

      I tried looking around mastodon too, but that place seems ironically and oddly antisocial

          I understand that the experience may differ and it could just be the instance(s) I been on, but people on there don’t seem too interested in interacting with each other, as in commenting / resharing / whatevs

            Ohhh. I assume this is generally the case with most social media. And for mastodon especially, it seems structured around individuals in a semi-competitive way which makes this more severe. It is why lemmy is the only social media I have ever actively used.

              I only ever used reddit before now, so yea that was my only point of reference
