Shitposting? Very important. Communicating with people? Not very.

If IM / texts are lumped into "internet", then it's decently important.

Do I shitpost with random internet people? Yes.

Do I have any "internet friends" (people you only know due to online interation)? Not anymore.

I'm in the grey space of text communications. Some prefer by cell number, others use apps that use the internet.

So, technically yes.

No one has real social connections on the internet. If you believe otherwise, you're suffering from some sort of mental illness. Sorry if I had to be the one to tell you this.

Trying to use the internet for socializing will make you depressed and retarded. Go outside and join a team or a club or a church or something. You'll feel a lot better and get actual human interaction. Your AI girlfriend isn't real.
