Connecting With People Who Share Similar Values

We live in a world where pseudonymous interactions are more and more common. I would way rather have conversations with some one on twitter about acrypto if we're both superinterested in it, then form deep connections with my next door neighbor just for the sake of saying i'm close with the people i live near. As long as i find my interactions with these people to be valuable, i'd take that any single day over a connection with someone whom i know, but whom my connection with gives me no value or energy.
