never touching the bottom of the pool

the internet used to feel messy and infinite, full of weirdos and subcultures and criminals and inexplicable little nerd projects from anonymous friends you made on message boards. then everything became twitter and instagram, which was cool until everything irl started looking and feeling like twitter and instagram too, no matter where in the world you were, and there was nowhere else to go. suddenly though (?) that era feels over, those sites are dying, along with google search, and I feel like the weird internet, the infinite internet, is at the beginning of a full comeback. I love that dizzy feeling that there’s so much much out there that I’ll never even get close to seeing it all. maybe that’s why I like it here so much?

New era of internet

Is it just me or social media is slowly but surely starting to feel wholesome again? I might just be living in a bubble, but I feel like young people have started to realize the harm of excess scrolling, prioritizing actual connections and taking time off from internet. With all the overflowing capitalism and advertising, people are starting to create their own communities free of that, take this site for example. Not quite the Wild West internet of the y2k but something else entirely, something more.. real. Authenticity is cool again.

tired

I'm tired of other social media where people just want to be famous or fill that emotional void that social media usually leave when nothing interesting happens. I want something that feels more casual.
