We need to rebuild a new internet.  Google ruined email too.

This is why the internet simultaneously the greatest thing that's ever happened and the worst thing that's ever happened

I miss the days where I could search random strings of words to see the thousands of results which were sometimes unhinged, but sometimes brilliant

We used to be a proper internet.

Club Penguin Archives is a site dedicated to preserving the memory of Club Penguin through its files. Since December 12, 2010, it has grown to become the largest public Club Penguin file database on the internet.

You forgot MySpace, the only non-toxic social media we ever had.

As someone who still has their yahoo email since 2001, the geocities one hurts the most. I had poetry on their from my high school and college days. There was also a massive fanart site called "Helena's Chateau" I visited, Helena being the character from Dead or Alive so most the art was DoA characters. it was DeviantArt well before DeviantArt existed. Geocities was an easy way to learn website development and coding. It really held your hand, even better than site makers like GoDaddy did.

In other more advanced civilizations, deleting such data is a very serious crime.

I like the fact that the video starts straight away! No ten minutes of this will be so good and here is twenty clips to show how good it will be!!

When you put your files onto a site that you don’t own, you don’t own them. Invest in external storage. Keep your own things if you care about them, and update them about every 10 years so you don’t have files that no system can read anymore.

The Internet already had apps, it was called Flash.  Apple and Google killed it so they could collect their 30% cut.

Flappy Bird's creator was really the Oppenheimer of mobile gaming

1:13 just tells me that if they wanted to take down all of the sludge and actual harmful stuff, they could. Overnight.

I still have Flappy Bird, 4 phones later.

Lost weeks worth of goofing off building a Geocities page 😭

Just more proof in how monstrous Disney is.

Ah Yahoo answers…”Is breathing fattening?” “If you’re flying through a hoagie field.”

Remember kids, backup always. And backup the backup to be sure. Internet is volatile.

That’s weird because we’re always told that once you place something on the Internet, it’s there for good. But yeah.

A few items in this list are just silliness and passing fades. But the issue of war footage is a real one. There is great value in honest reporting of terrible things but dominant tech platforms make it impossible because they can't be bothered. This is a real problem for our society
