Earlier this year my friend graduated medical school and I went to her party in Philly for it - we have been internet friends from tumblr since we were 16 and i was worried I would be the only one there from online. I got there and everyone was from online - they were all people she met on twitter or tumblr or discord. also my high school ex girlfriend just went to someone’s wedding that she had known from twitter…. people are still friends online and they still move from online to offline, which I think is very sweet
