@molly0xfff I miss the feeling of interaction and interconnection:
- Every site/blog had RSS and you could follow them easily.
- Many sites had comment sections that were not garbage fires.
- (Non-Reddit) forums for just about any hobby/interest—you’d stumble upon great little communities like secret gardens (there are still a couple in existence)
- AIM—different than texting. Availability, away messages, handles, interoperability to ICQ, Yahoo Messenger, etc.
I can talk at length about this.
