Open source. I recently started getting back into submitting patches and hanging out on irc/matrix/discord.

I think a lot of the advice like "join the church" or "do an activity" are lost on chronically online people like myself.

For us, it should be "find an online community that makes you challenge yourself to improve", but it's hard to articulate that.

I contribute to open source myself, and I agree that it is a good way to socialize and belong to a community.

I just don't think someone should live 100% online. Having real life and strong relationships is pretty valuable, also for your mental health.
