Looking at old forums

[Metropolis]

So I started looking at old emo forums/websites in the internet archive, and wow, was internet culture different back then.

I guess the internet has just started feeling so unreal? Everything seems to be made by a bot and replied to by bots, and it's just an ouroboros of bots. The World Wide Web is not interesting anymore for me, I'm trying to find forums or something more tangible other than my website to look at. (Im not making much sense lol)

I don't know, guess I need to go for like a hike or something.

i love the old internet even though i was never on it due to being a kid in the 2010s, i guess that internet doesnt exist anymore, the indie web as we know it today is only a call back to what was once lost
hopefully through being offline a little bit more we can mimic a fraction on what its like living back then

but even that is hard since the modern world forces you to be online, even when ur outside
man...
