1 year agoThis was a fantastic read, thank you for sharing it!
I was never on LiveJournal, but I remember spending a lot of time on all sorts of random websites in the 90s and early 00s. Many hosted on Geocities, or Tripod, often with free forum software of some sort, making hundreds of tiny little communities. And over time, each one disappeared.
The fediverse gives me hope; it definitely has its problems, but fundamentally no single person owns the whole thing. Individual corners may come and go, but the network will remain, and that’s awesome.
Yeah, smileys are rad =.=
I like emojis too though 🥳.
Like a good wine pairing :)
