Would love to see this become the fastest IPO to tank.
Yeah but then when it collapses all the roaches will scurry off to other forums, including lemmy .
Personally I want it as a place to sequester the hard and alt right, like 4chan was before the digg exodus.
Every time someone pops the infection caul where they gather, it just spreads their toxic juice everywhere else.
Sadly I’ve found a few of those on Lemmy already. What I’d prefer is the internet of the 1990s when it took effort to figure out and the masses were too lazy or dumb to do so.
And that sweet, sweet dialup modem sound.
Fuck yes those memories...
I used to purposefully disable the error correction on my modem so the connection sound didn't have that stupid hissy wobbly beepy part at the end. Yeah it meant that sometimes I'd fjhkswa thjasd ar eee e but it was worth it for that pure music.
Maybe we're blessed for knowing it like none that came after, or cursed for knowing it will never be that good again...
