During a hypomania, it is a good idea to maintain a low online profile. Namely, don’t post too much to mailing lists or other forums, don’t chat on the IRC too much (and try to focus on technical problems or your psychological situation), and in general try to maintain a low-profile.
However, I feel that real-life meetings with people and talking to them face to face is actually very good for one’s well-being during a hypomania.
So if you can get a friend or a few to meet with you in a café , or go to a club meeting, it will be a good idea.
