    Older man, curious to hear more. One of the things I miss from Reddit is the the opportunity to connect.

      I’d suggest checking out the FediNSFW instance first. There are a few communities there that foster connecting like this!

      I’m unsure about this user thus far. They’re new around here which doesn’t necessarily mean much, but you never know.

          Yeah there used to be a different instance for all the porn and such, but the admin couldn’t keep up with it. So the FediNSFW was created only a few months ago if my memory serves correctly. It HAS become much more active in those few months, so hopefully that growth continues!

          There’s a fun questions/truth or dare community that has sorta the same feel as well, though I can’t remember the exact name of that community.

      Beware of romance scams. They can be very patient and build a “connection” for months before starting to need money.

      They’ll need money for all kinds of stuff, like to come visit you but will then cancel at the last second. Maybe their car broke down or they or a family member goes to the hospital.

      They can use AI to fake images and their voice in phone calls - even fake video calls where they look like a completely different person.

      Don’t trust someone you’ve never met, be open with family and friends about the person you’re talking to and trust their judgement of if it’s a scam or not, and don’t send money to anyone before meeting them for real.

      Don’t be ashamed if you do fall for a scam, talk to the people you know so they can help you get out of it.

      Scammers are scum, but they are very good manipulators, especially with people who are older and looking for connections. Stay safe!
