Nah. What the problem was the whole “it’s the internet, it’s not real. Get off it. Etc etc.” The truth is the internet is as real as you and me. The things we say and do are real.
We should’ve taken it more serious. Not let these hate groups form online. It was the wild west and people pussy footed around about taming it.
Now it’s a cancer riddled mess with pockets of safety, but the rest is no man’s land.
The “marketplace of ideas” in action.
Also, in my opinion, Tumblr losing basically every single raid war they got into with 4chan around 2012-2013 has a lot to do with the state of social media today.
Tits or GTFO except now anon is POTUS.
That was always a doomed battle. How do you publically shame a group of people with no identities and no shame? The more tumblr cared the more 4chan won.
Fucking feel so burnt by Tumblr losing porn. I legit only got Tumblr cause of the porn, and it went and got all righteous like a month or so after.
I am on a yearly plan for data and calls. (Not sure why. If there is an unlimited plan in Australia, let me know)
I used up my data a month early. These past few weeks with no data, and only accessing the internet at home has been a treat. Been reading alot more. Am about half way through Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn.

It says alot about humanity and the civilization we’ve built when a shitty digital life is more appealing then spending one moment longer in the meatspace.
The first time I used the internet it was in a college computer room where I did not attend classes. Because, at one time, the internet was only on college campuses. I’m almost as old as Grandpa now.
the biggest mistake was selling it to merchants
Smartphones are the most useful thing ever day-to-day… So I want to keep those, like keep all the text and call and email stuff, keep the games I guess, but somehow also go back to the days when the Internet was something to peruse for an hour or so a day on the computer.
