> what was the internet before social media? imagine 4chan but it's the entire internet instead of a few boads and everyone is happy instead of jaded and spiteful. there weren't any worries about glowniggers or propoganda or censorship or data collection to shill products. it was just a little club untainted by the corperate world. you were just an anonymous nobody passing through, exploring the plethora of sites made by people just like you. there was a sense of mystery too it, and you felt like you were exploring an ever growing world. like a digital columbus. above all it was freedom. the untamed vibrant creativity of bored millenials was on full display. i believe we will see that return someday.
