I didn't hear a peep from this guy when they banned my nsfw tumblr. But now he's going to complain that the internet is boring and stale.

WRONG. i go to hexy bear for my funs

I'm a freak but I love looking at Google streetview pictures. If I have nothing to do at work I can spend hours looking at different places.

The only other place worth looking at anything is TikTok. If you aren’t on TikTok rn the internet sucks ass

The only places left to engage with people are so tightly controlled and stuffed out the asshole with ads that it's a completely miserable experience

I felt this constantly since social media

I do, but I also wonder how much of it is just getting old and having adult stuff (not the fun adult stuff, the "responsibility" stuff) constantly getting in the way of manic bursts of following rabbit holes that I remember doing way back in the day.

I guess I'm easily entertained. I feel like there's tons of shit on the internet. my latest thing is learning crafting techniques for making my own house decorations/art. there is an insane wealth of knowledge among everyone from MFAs to like crafty homemakers with cheap ways to stain, manipulate/shape, and transfer images to a variety of materials.

I'm currently eyes peeled for a transparent plastic globe I can tent with modge podge and food coloring to make my own pendant light fixture. but for now I'm painting a weird elephant I found at a shop for cheap, and then I'm gonna black wash it or maybe even dry brush it with metallics to make it look old and valuable.

I dunno what we are in now but the old web was better. 1.0 sucked. 2.0 was good though. You had all these nich communities bubbling with energy and ideas. Now it is just reddit and psyops and comodification.

Part of it might just be because that was the dawn of an era. Like when I was a kid the Iternet wasn't a thing. Then it became a hobby, now it is a part of life and capitlaism is working on making it as miserable as possible to use.

I’ve been trying to set up servers and make homebrew little websites for my kids to try and capture some of that magic. No luck so far.

SAME. IT SUCKS. Like I refresh pages hoping something fun somehow pops up but like....

Luckily I have the answer, all you should do is [content only available with hexbear premium, for only 8.79 a month]

There are fun places but I avoid them because they are made to be addicting and I am very susceptible

Hexbear and FFXIV are the meat of my internet usage. I have a huge media stockpile of stuff I've never watched/played/listened/read so it's not a huge deal yet.
