I’ve seen online communities you noobs wouldn’t believe. Attacking comments in the forums of Usenet. I’ve seen Geocities blinking under a million construction GIFS, and threaded flame wars spanning hundreds of LiveJournals. These memories will be lost…like tears in rain…

This is probably part of why everyone on bluesky is 38 years old: 38 year olds are basically the only people who consider it totally normal to flee a sinking ship and then just casually resume the conversation on the tropical island they end up on. They've outlived dozens of ships.

It was the guy who made my "GIRL SPOTTED" thread in FYAD 🤣 he spent the entire date making fun of furries at me but I needed to date a guy real quick to get the are-you-gay heat off me. He showed me his dick right after meeting my parents when he came to pick me up for our first (& ONLY) date 😩

I stayed out of FYAD. Too much negativity.
