Gone is the golden age of online communication: Where the only people who had one used it strictly for school or work in an era where school and work were competitive and demanded people of merit instead of diversity quotas.
As such, the majority of people were white and respectful with one another.
Now every jackass is on it and whatever you say can get your life ruined by complete strangers
I'm 36. Chat rooms nor forums where never "respectful"
That said...the most "cozy" the net has ever been for me. RPG scene in the late 90's early 2000's. People really tried to be good to one another. I've never seen anything like it before or since.
I don't remember the "respectful" internet but I do remember when you could call people niggers and faggots and no one gave a shit because everyone did it and if anyone got seriously mad about anything online, everyone would unite to relentlessly mock them for taking internet so seriously.
2000 intenet: "internet is serious fuckin business lol"
2019: Your communications on the Internet are serious and may constitute bullying or Harassment and lead to imprisonment, fines, and loss of career.
Completely fucking ruined by thots and SJW cucks who have endless competition with each other to show off how "woke" and self-righteous they are, and their ability to grt offended on someone else's -ism's behalf.

Gone is the age of going on a search engine and getting results from forums or small sites. Now it has only mainstream results.
