People see the old internet with really rose tinted glasses.
I use cat videos to distract myself.
Oh yeah, all that hardcore gore was so kind and cuddly. Or the rampant, very out in the open child pornography.
I mean talk about delusional. The Internet was always a cess pool, it’s just that most of you fucks were either infants, or didn’t know how to use it.
like the big bang theory you know, now everyone just drifts away into their own little galaxies. like i did a similar web search on lemmy.world and found a lot of overlapse between lemmy and other reddit alternatives. so that’s a niche. lgbt is another niche i’m sure. you get all these niches and the internet is more separated than before.
