I’ve been online all my life, I genuinely feel at home here. I relate more to random strangers across the world than any neighbors. Is it wrong for me to think of the (western/English) Internet as my culture?

    Makes sense to me. I was on Reddit for about ten years before jumping ship, and there were so many running gags, and new terminology that “outsiders” would never understand. It certainly has a culture, and it’s not like we don’t already have people fighting over who’s the “superior race” X, Facebook, Reddit, Tictok, etc.
