If you've ever found yourself missing the "good old days" of the #web, what is it that you miss? (Interpret "it" broadly: specific websites? types of activities? feelings? etc.) And approximately when were those good old days?
No wrong answers — I'm working on an article and wanted to get some outside thoughts.
@molly0xfff the immense reading diversity that blogs gave - and getting to control what it was I was reading (via my RSS reader).
I still do! But f'book sucked up all the writing and g’gle killed the easiest-to-use RSS reader, and Twitter took up the attention of most witty writers - and many of the blogs I followed slowed down.
I miss community of word-based people, in other words.
(Here's a place I have it! But it's dwindled.) (I've been online-ish since 1981. Ups are great. Downs: bah.)
