    Basically here, reddit, 4chan (gross), certain parts of twitter and youtube, are like the only places that kind of resemble the internet before everything was consolidated into a handful of major websites.

          It wasn’t destroyed by fandoms, they were there from the start. It is relatively good now in the post-2016 era, after the original main demographic of early Gen Z girls matured. Heritage Posts is a good source for learning about tumblr history.

        Idk if it's just me but Tumblr became so much better and Twitter became so much worse after the porn ban and mass exodus from Tumblr. Nowadays it's almost similar to here, mostly just shitposting and it's very easy to find communists

      There's some other holdouts of the old internet, allthough they largely consist of the dril tweet "Is wario a libertarian?" variety.

      It can be amusing to check into it sometimes, but you never wanted to be there anyways.

      ...... those are the major websites that it consolidated in to.

      go on gemini if you want something that resembles the old internet
