losing experience project was like burning books

i feel there were sooo many writings there..sooo many connections made..same with myspace..i lost 400-odd blogs when they went down. i have since learned to back my stuff up more, but i still think these social media sites need to recognize their responsibility a lil more and at least give notice. am i trippin?

Thing is the internet in general has gotten worse. I noticed that with the invention of the iphone bringing the internet to a broader range of people. But it also brought it down to the lowest common denominator.
Even if EP and MySpace came back it would be flooded with the absolute worst of humanity. Because the internet is a breeding/feeding ground for the worst of humanity. Trolls, sadists and psychopaths learned that they can use it to feed their evil so they flood everything. A good site/app has about a 5 year lifespan before trolls bring it to it's knees. So I'll just remember MySpace and EP as they were. It's nostalgic.

@Renaci you have a mega point. i think the whole thing is akin to the tower of babel from the Bible..God kiiinda warned us abt such things ha

@foldedunfolding I'm all in favor of world spanning projects. But they don't work because humans can't get along long enough. Like if I remember correctly the biggest thing humanity has worked on was the Great Wall of China. I think it was worked on off and on for around a thousand years.
I think that's why I like sci-fi so much. It shows the potential of humanity. Not always it's reality. Plus much sci-fi has an optimistic slant which def counteracts my pessimism. Lol Plus pretty eye candy🥴
