Super agree with that. I was literally on AIM until the servers went down, not even kidding, and I love the cozy feel of N64 games rented at Blockbuster with Pizza Hut and so on... but I actually don't wanna go back to tank controls or AIM. I like Telegram and Signal a lot better. I like Summoning Salt videos on youtube. I don't really wanna go back.

Yep, fighting for a cause today means posting on social media. Most people are all talk and no action, which makes it easier for the few who do act to get their way.
