Deep thoughts on the pre-social media Internet

[general_radix]

Without going too far into what prompted this 2AM ramble: I HATED all those "fuck social media and everyone on it" rants and still do, but lately I've also been wondering if we really wouldn't be better off resurrecting the Internet as it existed in the '90s and '00s (minus the bad shit that went on during those decades) and leaving behind as much of social media's corporate buffoonery, apathy towards users, and frequent screwing-over of said users as we can.


(Since fan comms are part of what I hope come back: for a while I've considered starting a Marathon comm here, but I'unno how many people besides y'all would join. XD; )

Yeah, at least now there's a lot more awareness... and a lot of whining (and worse) from whom see this awareness as an assault to their privilege.

Ok, when I'll have more time i'll post someIthing :)

...yes, yes, it does! That wouldn't tire me so much if it were just every once in a while, but *always*... And also the topics all over the place! Add to that my timezone, meaning that usually I have to read 200 messages all together and sometimes I lose some interesting things I'd like to say something about, sigh.

Alright!

And on top of all that, I can never tell if someone I want to say there will be ignored or used as a springboard for more shitposting. :/

...I might or might not fancy to start allocating some mind cycle to that visual novel project just to see the reactions, heh.
