It’s certainly a tricky one, I feel like a lot of us have some trauma still from covid anyway, and the world is just acting like it has gone away. At least in the real world there are spaces outside that can’t be controlled that easily. I feel you on the meetup groups too, I’d love some local queer friends but I don’t know where the local queer people are meeting up. But the Internet is becoming the ultimate hostile space very quickly and sadly we need to either accept it or try and pull away now before it’s too late
