It reminds me a little of the old internet. I like how relatively small it feels, and that people post content for the sake of the content, not to promote themselves. I haven’t found my usual corners yet, the ones I used to hang out in on older platforms, but I figure that’s just a matter of time. I’m not super nostalgic for the old internet or anything, but it’s nice to find at least a hint of something human-centered somewhere.

I hope it doesn’t fall apart and that it keeps growing.

I was skeptical when I switched to Linux, but then I ditched Windows on my dual boot for good. It was a hugely positive experience, and it really felt like freedom. I’m hoping this will be the same.

And don’t be mad at me if I act totally clueless here sometimes 'cause all that is new to me.

Old Internet? Nah, to me the internet was born in 2010 xD

Edit: Damn nobody gets the joke.

@Banana

I'd say 1994.

what was the cutoff specifically to you? for me it was Facebook being available to the public that kicked off the corporatization of the internet

does 1994 happen to coincide with the invention of the pop-up or something?
