No, lurk more. Seriously, just join the cy-x xmpp chat or lurk on some boomer IRC channels. You might learn a thing or two.

Woah you said the N-word? That's really crazy and edgy man I don't think that's even allowed. You millenials go to places that zoomers would never hehehe!

because of all the extra crack and aids in their system, if you care about the environment, please be sure to put the niggers you kill in the designated dead nigger storage

It's not a generational issue, it's an IQ and culture issue. Zoomers are gay and retarded, but boomers are just as bad. 60 year old boomers are equally as addicted to their iPhone screens as the most beaten down and sublimated zoomer. What actually made older internet communities thrive is that they were naturally exclusionary. You both had to find out where these communities existed, and learn how to use the tech required to join it. Any attempt at a "revival" misses the fundamental idea of why these communities were special. They were able to effectively distill the 1% of the 1% of the world's population that you actually wanted to talk to.

yeah its pretty bad, but in a way i guess it shows that people are more than willing to go back to more pre web 3.0 ways of expression and algorithms that created those cultures and aesthetics, you would not belive how many people love watching little 2chan inspired OCs dance around to edm music, its really charming, i think its best to take advantage of this and try to recruit more from comment sections on obscure youtube videos that require a level of internet literacy to understand, do your part.


Now Discord requires a face photo and/or ID. Good luck trying to educate these posers in actual computing freedom. Frutiger Aero? I was using XFCE or Fluxbox with AMSN on every OS, you nuts. If any, we didn't had an actual theme, it was pretty eclectic. KDE3 might have been on par, but Gnome 1.4 and later 2 wasn't really glass shaped, there were corporate themes like Industrial and the like and less serious ones such as Gorilla. And KDE3 itself apart from Everaldo icons came with tons of icon sets and themes, from retro to futurist to WTF I'm using. Oh, Fluxbox, Blackbox... had zillions of styles and no FVWM theme was like any other.
