My read of SpaceHey (and why this new MySpace will fail) is, yeah, part of it is that it doesn't have all the features that the OG MySpace had such as being able to search anywhere and look for anyone. Like if I wanted to find people my age in Norway and talk to them, I could do that back then. Most of my MySpace friends, well, maybe half, were utter randos and it was great. That's impossible on SpaceHey.

But also people are different now. Facebook has conditioned everyone to think that you can only really talk to people you know personally irl, unless you're making snarky comments at them on some post or something.

There also seem to be more predators now than there were in the 90's and 2000's or that they're more organized now anyway. MySpace was what it was partly because it was open and not locked down at all, and you can't do that on a modern platform.

Yeah it's a weird, these disparate age bands here and it was like that on SpaceHey too. There's people under 25 and people 35 and up and neither group seems to think the other belongs there and it's this bizarre thing where the site doesn't actually have a culture but these groups of utterly different people doing completely different things.

There probably should be a setting for people under 18 to where adults can't even see them and vice versa unless they've been friended or something.
