Tom said he was my friend, but did he offer to help when I was moving to a new apartment?

I lost the music I made in college to the MySpace database loss/crash/whatever.
Upside: the music I made in college is forever lost.
I left reddit for lemmy and now lemmy is just the same people complaining about the same stuff. What happened to cat pics, pirates, and robots?
I think it's kinda hard to find spaces where people are gonna be willfully ignorant of the issues currently plaguing our lives. Sure, everyone wants a break from it and not think about it the latest infringement on our rights but outrage fatigue is something we need to be aware of.
I opened Lemmy after like a year and this post made me smile. I don't see this as 'complaining' considering I just arrived from the cesspool that's reddit.
One of my earliest experiences with the Internet was seeing a picture of a country girl in cowboy boots with a carrot up her ass and an ear of corn stretching her pussy. It was 1991. I also played bridge with people in Asia in the middle of the night.
I can hear the music just by seeing the picture.
Same.
Such a good jam.

I miss the old internet
Before the corporations colonized it
The good old days of: "cat, i'm a kitty cat and i dance dance dance and i dance dance dance"
If MySpace hadn't gone away, it would just be like Facebook is now anyway.
It would be worse. The site got bought out by News Corp (FOX's parent company) in 2005.
The site would be some kind of TurningPointUSA / DailyWire right-wing trash factory. Every song on there would be Ben Shapiro rapping or Oliver Anthony releasing the "Rich Men North of Richmond" techno remix.
No shot that’s actually the name of their parent company, it’s way too dystopian movie coated.
Art imitates life
Yea we'd just call it nazispace or something
How could you miss "MeinSpace"?
I love it, but in these wonderful united states where myspace was based, let's just say bludgeoning people over the head with a direct reference is usually more effective than a more subtle approach.
Plus I would hate to drag all of Germany into our hypothetical corpo-hell by another name, even though MeinSpace is definitely the best sounding option. Even something like HeilSpace might not be direct enough.
People make mistakes, and that's okay
The internet
"I can do both"
For better or worse, content moderation was almost nonexistent. On those 100s of forums and websites you could see just about anything. The degenerate and shock culture thrived as much as all the other random stuff. People can still find terrible things out there but now there's real effort to police and control the platforms. The big players don't let the REALLY terrible stuff on their systems. Rotten.com is always what I reference. There used to be porn, TV shows, and movie, on YouTube. Copyright was a suggestion and free use was everywhere for homemade music videos and downloads. There was also less effort to protect children. There are still issues today but widely the internet is at least devided into more age appropriate spaces. Those spaces get invaded but it's not how it was back then. In the 90s or early 00s you were assumed to be an adult if you were online. If you were smart you kept it that way. There was generally no avoidance if you were a minor like today.
That's not to say the protections that exist today are perfect. It is more so just the fact that they exist at all, and at least for appearances, an effort is made.
Internet back then kind of had a flea market / bazaar vibe. It really was that old west feel.
There are SO many levels of Terms of Services that help keep the modern internet clean. We didn't have that back then. Before monetization. These days, you have your ISPs, search engines, and domain hosts all working to keep things clean at a secondary level, before you even get to the website. Rotten.com can't exist today as easily because it would have to find a host that would allow it's content. Then it would have to be searchable, not end up a blacklisted domain on the forums, and also have protection from digital attacks, and THEN it's content would have to be regulated to make sure it doesn't break laws to get shut down. It could not exist today how it did back then.
Back then, rotten.com was as easy to find as asking jeeves, or yahoo to show you a dead body. The whole internet was that. No laws no shared mortality.
That's a serval, I think. Maybe a caracal?
