Time for bed!

So, where am I currently to be found?

You’ve come to the right place. This is my blog! http://alexschroeder.ch/

I hang out in IRC for chat. If you don’t have a chat client, I’ve installed a web client for you to use, if you want. It’s hosted on Campaign Wiki, but you can use it to connect to other servers, too. If you’d like to be constantly connected, I can get you an account. https://talk.campaignwiki.org/

I’m usually connected to three IRC servers:

Any chat rooms you’d like to suggest?

I’ve started posting on net news again! It’s super small and disconnected from Usenet. I’ve basically written a little web forum front-end for it in case you don’t have a net news client. Anybody can read, but if you want to post, you need to register (with me). https://campaignwiki.org/news

I’m also on the fediverse. I run my own single-user GoToSocial server. If you want to reply to my posts, you can sign up for any fediverse server. https://social.alexschroeder.ch/@alex

I also have a role-playing game focused account on the Tabletop Social instance. If you want to reply to my posts, you can sign up for any fediverse server. If you want an account here, I can get you an invite. https://tabletop.social/@kensanata

I also hang out on a friend’s Discord Server. Feel free to join us! We speak both English and German. https://campaignwiki.org/wiki/MontagInZ%C3%BCrich/Discord_Server

I’m probably forgetting stuff. It’s weird to live in such a parasocial world.

Parasocial interaction (PSI) refers to a kind of psychological relationship experienced by an audience in their mediated encounters with performers in the mass media, particularly on television and on online platforms. Viewers or listeners come to consider media personalities as friends, despite having no or limited interactions with them. – Parasocial interaction

Parasocial interaction

How do we cross over and make contact with real humans? I like to think that I feel bidirectional friendship. But for that to work, both sides need to talk to each other. If one side only reads or listens, then it cannot be anything but parasocial. It’s still better than nothing, I guess. But who’s going to be there for you when you need help?
