I am changing the way I use my phone. Today I sat in front of the computer and wanted to do something cool on the internet, like in the time before insta/fb/reddit/lemmy doomscrolling. I couldn’t think of any website and took a bath instead, thinking of all the older websites where you had a chatwindow, forums and such.

They’re all gone by now, aren’t they?

All the old websites I liked turned into for-profit monstrosities, then got bought out, gutted, and shut down. 🥺

Neopets is still around. Monetized to hell, but still...
