The reason there were mountain men in the old days is that they appreciated nature and they didn't feel alone though they often were. It's not that hard to rekindle that feeling you only have to work at it a little. I was taking walks in the woods back when I was in grade school and I seldom feel alone though it's harder to feel like that in a city.

There are at least 2 open source dating apps that I've seen, although one of them has 4chan branding. Not sure about the other.

Then make it. Everyone fucking hates Facebook, the time is now!
Also, I'm totally on board with the slut strategy. From a utilitarian perspective, I'm making the world a better place one orgasm at a time
Sadly, I don’t have that ability, but I would gladly cheer on whoever does have that ability.

Did those actually provide any sort of social outlet?
That’s similar to the reason my company gives for having to be in the office but I work on the computer and go home. The only people I interact with are my remote peers

I live in one of the hottest areas in the US and I still find ways to get outside.

Just force everybody to interact. Obligatory meetings for the whole village/city district/city block (depending on size of population) every saturday morning with local news, coffee and cake and maybe games or time for chatting.
