everything even remotely relating to MDE = gone

shit never would've happened in the wild west days of the internet aka like 2007

1998 was wild west

@slobberknocker cheese head poo shit brain

deplatforming someone and wiping out their online presence because they made an edgy joke or have "the wrong opinion" would've been unheard of

you had to be a nerd to be on the internet

you didnt have housewives and shit on there

i was online back then but dont remember it

i didn't even say anything yet 😦

i was nice to you steamie

its a joke

steam the gun is in my mouth

give me a reason not to shoot

internet point of entry used to be like 115+ iq

now minimum is like 60 iq

oh yeah there's the theory (which i believe is correct) that 2007 was the year it all changed -- the iphone was introduced, twitter launched, facebook began accepting non-college-only accounts

oof

all in the span of a few months in '07

big retard begin

but hey

they can steal money from those people too

influx of normies

until it's 99% normies

if you wanted to talk to people you needed to basically know how to launch a rocket ship

AIM

try teaching a 70 year old person to use a mouse

its not easy

babies use ipads

but poking a screen with big buttons is easy

reddit + twitter do not equal the internet though. and if youre winding back to 2007 then the internet didnt even have the mainstreamstay those platforms do now, so it kind of makes sense like TV regulations. im not denying what they do is overboard and to be fought against but its better to shoot energy to new platforms and other areas than lament the inevitable tide of safety chamfering of Big Social. thoughts?

for the same reason elderly people do

2007 you had myspace, news sites

umm

music

that also brought a lot of normies

myspace died in 2007

multimedia capable bandwidth

once fb began accepting everyone

youtube

yes sir

youtube was launched in '05
