I miss the internet

I have been doing this "digital minimalism" experiment for about 6 months now. No social media, news, etc. This is my first time on any type of online community in all that time. <br><br>I'm not sure if anyone else will think this is significant, but I am feeling like something is missing in my life without having access to this communal "public space". It seems like a byproduct of the way I've been using the internet... But there's this feeling of 'community' that I feel is missing without it.<br><br>Before you suggest it, I have joined a local sports team to get social interaction in my life, so that's not what I'm talking about. It feels more like, I can go to a park and watch people play frisbee. I can go to a library and just sit and read next to other people. <br><br>Has anyone else felt something like this? Or am I just going crazy?
