Wanted to ask you about this article, how do you remember the early days of the internet (I was sadly too young at that time). Do you wish it back? And do you think it can ever be like that again? I would be very interested

    Damn, you just reminded me I downloaded some sick games onto my TI-84 back in high school. I gotta find that thing, I can’t quite remember most of the games besides Tetris.

    What I miss is the civility of the internet pre-2008. When it was harder to get on the internet.

    Agree 1000%. In the early 2000s the internet was a sanctuary from mainstream society, and more cohesive in many ways. Now, all of the real world’s problems have become manifest online. Not in the fediverse yet though 🤞
