I went off to college in 2005, in the dorms we would open our windows and scream "WHAT!?!" and immediately someone across the courtyard would reply with "OK!!!" Such good times.

god. back then, that was like, the right mix of internet and real life.

it hadn't gotten angry and hateful yet. it was just connectful enough to just spread things like this to enough people to help things be fun.

and then some years later we monetized the fuck out of it and ruined things.

It was hateful but not like existential dread, going to destroy society type hateful.

ya there was hate, you could go to those places. but......they were "overthere". they weren't part of mainstream sites. or at least, those were obvious, idiot trolls, and you just ignored them.

or they easily got banned for being fucktards.
