Created this after reading conversation in comments below some tech article somewhere. Someone mentioned "surfing the #internet sewer" and I really liked that phrase.
if there's one thing I miss of the early net it's the way people just put their random shit and fun comments ideas in a textfile and saved it for public consumption somewhere.
there's still a few archives around (e.g. textfiles.com), but new stuff isn't really added anymore
This article nicely sums up my suspicion about the state of 'Xwitter'…
"Twitter is now a siloed attention roulette machine just like TikTok. That was the plan when Elon took over and they succeeded. There's no going back."
