First thing. Why is the icon here a sparksylph i got so confused
Tbh. As an SMR regular who had to figure out how to use dreamwidth. I’m kinda curious when the livejournal era ended because I also grew up on the beginnings of the internet. The golden age of neopets and club penguin, when there was still kid specific social spaces and everything wasn’t sanitized to just make everything count as kid friendly (despite the fact that kids under 13 probably shouldn’t be online unsupervised anyway. And in most cases arent even allowed to have accounts on these samitized social media).
But also, i never freaking did social stuff. So idk if it’s a case of I’m too young to have seen that or a case of i dont even use real social media or forums. The 4chan comparisons are really best left to the older comms though. Even then they’re probably a bit extreme because 4chan can be pretty bad.
