The jump from message boards to social media was a mistake

Reposted from erika

i don't want to hear your most boomer complaint. what's your most millennial complaint?

We had it so good back in 2004! I'll never understand why we threw it away...

That I still can’t get the Reading Rainbow theme song out of my head.

I miss message boards. They were so much fun.

“This coulda just been a message board”
-me, any time I look at Discord

Been saying this to @dantastic.bsky.social for weeks now.

Things went downhill after they stopped using punch cards for computer input

YEP

100%

thats just fact

Some truth. Miss Jinx World like mad. Would not have gotten my start without it.

Bring it back.

(we did) check your dms

I did. I’m in. Thank you, Brian.

Why can I not just buy a video game? Like without all the updates and in-game purchases?

God I missed those early 2000's message boards....

I truly think the abdication of comments sections and forums for all conservations to happen social media is part and parcel of our current decline.

Not a millennial.. but 10,000% agree.
