Mine is that I'm swimming in nostalgia.
The old internet is better than a bunch of apps. The only app I've always enjoyed is YouTube. Another one I find okay is TikTok. Everything else sucks imo. And now with AI slop, algorithms, ads, subscriptions, etc., oh my God it's actually insufferable.
But I think I'm doing my part lol.
I joined this site because of a friend of mine but I rlly enjoy it so I've stayed pretty active, even though they aren't active. I'm also pretty sick of seeing AI slop and toxicity everywhere I go on more mainstream apps..

Basically nostalgia. I left Facebook years ago before it actually became full of ads and censorship, and left Twitter when Elon Musk bought it.
I also like the idea that I feel this place is not fast-paced, people don't expect you to reply or put new content quickly. That was the way of the old Internet.
I wanted a social network that wouldn't mess with my dopamine receptors that much & wouldn't lead to doomscrolling. Hell, I write more since I got here & i think that's really positive!
I'm also a sucker for anything you can customize soooo I love it here :)
My husband wanted to have a SpaceHey so bad. We finally got a link to join and it was a graveyard.
We both signed up here. He has gone a little unactive, but me? I am actively posting blogs and trying to make new friends everyday.
I honestly love this place so much. ♥☺
Nostalgia plus the fact that the owner actually cares about this site unlike Spacehey or friend project.
The old internet is more appealing than the algorithmic new one
I'm tired of social media websites getting worse and worse year after year. Like I don't want there to be some algorithmic advantage you can try to gain, because then everyone starts to try to do that and so the site becomes less and less creative; ahem YouTube. So many years ago when the Home page was exclusively based on the people you subscribed to, that is when YouTube was at its best. Now, YouTube wants to show an infinite amount of content that while may interest me... I'm tired grandpa!!!!!
I heard about MySpace potentially coming back.. I was very nostalgic. Had no idea there were myspace clones until I googled those very keywords lol.
