        I remember the internet of the 90s before social media. It was really nice. Sure you had nasty stuff but you had to go looking for it. You spoke to people on niche forums and then added them to whatever messaging service you used. They new your name and you would occasionally send actual letters to each other or call each other on the phone. It was wholesome and good… This is not.
