The Metaverse could've been a platform free of AI, offering a protected version of the Internet for people to be themselves. It's kinda where we may be headed anyway. Instead we got this...

Facebook was always destined to be shit.

What we need is Tom to come back and just boot up the only MySpace servers and we can do a hard reset to the part 20 years or so.

Fuck MySpace. Let's go back to webrings.

Dialup BBS

Don't go that far. Do you know how long it takes to download porn at 2400 baud?

[–] kibblebits@quokk.au 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Guess you’re stuck reading erotic stories.

[–] MagicShel@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Probably where I got my penchant for them.

[–] kibblebits@quokk.au 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You ever see an old one and just think, I look at this in 1993…

[–] MagicShel@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 week ago

I think I had a fondness for Freewheeling Barbara Toys With Boys. But I can't really say my tastes haven't changed.

Back before it died, I liked asstr.org. There were a lot of old classics there.

Webrings still exist.

The metaverse predates Facebook's interest in it.

[–] zo0@programming.dev 19 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Lol, lmao even
Sorry but that is a very misinformed idea of what Metaverse was, and was supposed to be

I mean, you can chill in VRChat if you want.

[–] generic_computers@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You mean Second Life?

[–] notabot@piefed.social 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Niw there's a name I haven't heard in a very long time. Is it still actually going?

[–] generic_computers@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 week ago

No idea. I don't think I've logged in in over 10 years, if not more.

[–] Dojan@pawb.social 2 points 1 week ago

Or Resonite even.
