Brigham Young University: Online meetings have benefits — but in-person interaction remains irreplaceable, BYU psychologist says. “The researchers reviewed more than 1,000 studies comparing face-to-face interaction with computer-based communication. They found that online communication can offer some benefits and support in-person relationships, but fully replacing face-to-face interaction […]

@ayke @wyatt also some stuff #IRC isn't the best way to do it anyway.
I'd consider #XMPP+#OMEMO and #PGP/MIME groupchats instead as @monocles / #monoclesChat & @delta / #deltaChat make those easier.
That being said I treat #IRC like #Habbo or the #Meatspace for that matter.
- If there's something important, people will notify me about it anyway…
@Cheatha Kommunikation auf Mastodon fühlt sich von allen sozialen Netzwerken am meisten an, wie Kommunikation im #meatspace. Ich habe hier zun ersten mal seit einem Jahrzehnt wirklich Leute mit nuancierten Meinungen zu Themen getroffen die nicht nur egoman ihre eigene Meinung durchprügeln wollten.
having a #coffee themed appreciation of #printing techniques and just real world #physicalmedia in general.
1. sitting in a cafe, my friend carlos handed me this cool #risograph #zine he made.
2. this bag of coffee beans from #littlebearcoffee which is not only a cool/funny dark metal design, but i am pretty sure was done using #silkscreen
long live #analog ! glowing devices are so boring. flipping pages beats scrolling any day! 😁
LLM remarking on enshitification and tech bros dismantling the Internet: "Your instinct to move toward analog, ritual, and embodied systems is adaptive.
Planners, notebooks, dharma practice, somatic awareness, community—these aren’t retreats from modernity; they’re ways of keeping agency when infrastructures rot."

@stman no, it's what #humans with #money inflict upon other people.
- Because machines ain't sentient - they do what they were created, setup and tasked to do!
The problem are what people do to other people, not that they do it in #meatspace or #cyberspace nor whether they use #YouTube or #Radio to incite #fear, #undertainty, #doubt and espechally #hate!
Find sowas echt Kacke, weil das geht garnicht...
- Das ist.socdas #Meatspace-Equivalent von #Spaßbieter|n bei #eBay…
How do you leverage a #socialmedia account into a #human #connection? You make stuff that people like until they message you? DM everybody you want to be #friends with? Is it like real life where they say, you can never just connect on purpose there has to be common ground? How much labor until i construct the #commonground? What does it take to even be a #digitalobject for you? I created this because i don't have enough #humanity in #meatspace. How many #posts fix #touch #starvation ?

@alecm believing #AgeVerification works is not just categorically insulting to the #intellect of #minors but openly denying the #truth that this didn't even work in #meatspace with #alcohol, #tobacco & #PhysicalMedia.
- Like the only limiting factor is for a minor to have enough money to pay someone adult to get them shit, and lets just say there are enough adults that'll gladly get a game, stick of cigs or vodka for a £10 note to keep as reimbursement for 5 mins of their time.
Shure it'll stop 12yr old Timmy with his £5 allowance from hospitalizing himself with Buckfast but doesn't replace good education.
Listening to the latest #DarknetDiaries (https://podcastindex.org/podcast/577105?episode=35548448799) by @jackrhysider. In this episode they used the term #meatspace which I hadn't heard in a while, these days I mostly see AFK or IRL but it got me thinking: is there a term for this concept in other languages outside of the Anglosphere?
#TerribleTake, but I am starting to realize that curating a satisfying cultural and #intellectual life may be so absorbing that it is #disabling. So easy to distract yourself or use up your mental energy non-productively.
The perils of #LivingYourBestLife? Ugh?
I LOVE #mastodon, but it can sure fool you, like all #SocialMedia, into thinking you are doing something.
@bojkotiMalbona @AAKL the problem with #CloudFlare is that their "#BusinessModel" which is being a #ValueRemoving #RentSeeker - should be as illegal as the #RacketeeringScheme it is if done in #meatspace...
- #ClownFlare knowingly and willingly #hosts #CyberCriminals and #Terrorists, acting as a #RogueISP by virtue of refusing to react to #AbuseReports at all and only yeeting shit when big customers yeet CloudFlare ( as was seen with the whole #KiwiFarms shitshow, cuz every other #Hoster had fired them for hosting #CSAM ages ago!)...
@theogrin @libroraptor @markwyner I think "#KnowledgeableSuperspreader" or "Peer-to-Peer #InfectionSharing Node on the #SneakerNet of the #MeatSpace" works too...
Why does this remind me of a certain suicide cult?
Maybe it's not dissimilar given the #ForeseeableConsequences aka. "rolling dice with one's life and the life of others"...
To me #COVID19 was the #LitmusTest for #society and it not only failed, but chose to give everyone who wasn't a sociopathic eugenicist or antivaxxer a big "middle finger" basically telling everyone who doesn't want to gamble with their life on a daily basis to*"Get Rekt!"*...
@GreenLegal_EU @hateaid Schließt dies auch wirksame Sicherheit gegen Angriffe im "#MeatSpace" aka. auf der Straße ein?
Weil #StochastischerTerrorismus wird leider zunehmend durch #Rechtsexteemisten normalisiert...
@TwraSun wundert micht nicht...
Die machen doch nur #Slacktivismus im "#Meatspace"...
