i'm an over 50 ex-con new to the internet. teach me your ways

Not sure where to post this but the American prison system is pretty fucked so this comm will do. Cool/weird thread to read. Highlights:

youtube does look cool. i have used it a little but i get a lot of suggestions that i don't like, like right wing stuff and i dont know why.

my cousin told me to check out the reddit site but i didn't like it. he said this place might be better and i've been readind a little here and i like the conversation form here more than the reddit thing.

honestly though and many of you might not believe it but i am a happy person now. and after many years of not seeing a single tree i can enjoy sitting on my mom's porch and watching the birds. i like that a lot and it brings me peace.

    ShitRedditSays, the first subreddit to get treated like the boogey man, was SA posters. We imported a bunch of emotes from SRS :freeze-peach: :cissues: :darwin: :keytar: and that includes some they got from SA :negative: :get-in: :get-out:.

      I am glad we got the get out frog. I often wonder how many (ex-)goons are on hexbear - I have a feeling there are more than average.

        Found the site in 2005-2006 and mostly read the Let's Play Forum(while i was supposed to be working :get-in: ). Made an account at one point but never actually posted anything. Motherfuckers just shut the forum down periodically to get people to pay up. :negative:

          Yeah, the paywall. I remember when a goon was LPing Danganronpa and basically translating the game into English at the same time which got a stack of traffic so Lowtax put the paywall up and people got so mad someone went to comicon dressed as the paywall.
