At the age of 34, being extremely socially reclusive, and being autistic myself, I don’t really think I have any chance of getting a relationship. I also have issues with staying attached to neurotypical/non-autistic people, people that drink alcohol regularly (I was raised by an alcoholic grandmother, you probably can put the two together), also I’m disabled in other ways too, etc.
A lot of people often like to say “ace/aro/demi people just too disappointed/have too high standards”. Here I am being so disappointed and probably having way too high standards, yet I still vow for a romantic relationship, and thus often feel lonely from it.
What apps did you try to establish?
I spend some time once comparing distributed / decentralized Chatapps (so not P2P, as this would be too inefficient). I got some friends to help me trying the stability of group chats. They helped me, even with enough implied eye-rolling, that I could have generated electricity from them :D
Mostly Retroshare, because the P2P and friend-of-a-friend onion routing are really compelling features.
Looks interesting. Could be useful for local networks during disasters or private organization.
It seems like it’d be a great space for niche and even moderately sized communities too, but it’s never going to catch on. XD
