I’ll give it the old college try. That works on 2 levels.

I set up an account and have absolutely no way of finding a single friend.

I guess, but I don’t want the job of trying to talk people into using a platform. No one I know has even heard of it. The platform is good for what I want, but no one I know locally is there and getting them on it seems unlikely.

I’m trying to find one right now that doesn’t suck. I want one where I can microblog, share pics, and videos to my friends and family. Essentially Facebook. Friendica is EMPTY. I deleted Meta products. I’m not on X. There is no alternative.

you shouldn’t be so sensitive

Imagine being so sensitive that someone else having a day off sends you into a insecure tirade about how hard you work. Ditch that loser. Life is too short.

Oh, cool. I wish I had someone to stalk, I would use this now that I know about it.

Don’t be pedantic.

Because it works on phones?

Not really.

There’s not enough people in niche communities outside of tech stuff. I’d love a community for my city similar to reddit, but no one is there. I post there, but it’s empty.

It still works

I agree that the decentralized Internet is the best idea, but no one is here. I hope it picks up.

I use FRS, there’s no way anyone would report me. They are not overpowered. No one listening would assume they are anything but Amazon walkie talkies.

I got them for ship to shore, which is not illegal. Also, it’s not illegal to listen. Which from what I hear, is nothing.

It happens all the time?

I have a handheld ham. The baofeng ones with no license. Come to get me FCC

When I use them to communicate, I use FRS frequencies, which are still not legal technically, but no one will even know.

I’m asking for a reason. People of a certain age are aware of HAM radios and how they are used, but clearly there’s a generation or two that’s not and I’m interested in where that cutoff lies.

How old are you?
