serynSomeone did a new group today, ![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
followfriday.
It has comments where people plug their favorite DW users, comms, or feeds. Not all of the recommendations are interesting, but I found a few people and a feed.
I don't have DW people I want to recommend necessarily and I would never expect to be of interest to the random world at large myself. But since I enjoyed it, I figured I should mention it to other people.
One of the problems of DW is the same as it was with LJ, that you have to know people here in order to meet people. It's a lot like a cocktail party. No one comes up to talk to the person who came in alone.
The modern world is becoming a lot more strange. The more people there are around, the fewer of them want to be friends. I think some of it is that most people are surrounded by friends all the time and they are trying to treat you like they would want to be treated. Some of it might be that they're always surrounded by friends, so someone who is alone is obviously some sort of psychopath. But I have definitely noticed that one must bring one's own friends. I guess when I go out alone, everyone thinks "She must not want company or she would have phoned a friend."
