Should be interesting, I'm really looking forward to the emojis. Didn't expect it to happen so soon.

Just makes a good setup for total data loss where there's no documentation nor community to turn toward. As if whatever was made never existed. I'm concerned with all the forums that shuttered in the past years that moved 100% to discord and will soon probably have to reverse this trend.
Tbh this is a way more realistic reaction.
Sounds like nostalgia there, I remember around 2006 old reddit was a lot like 4chan, where link Russian roulette was seriously a thing, and I saw things I wish I never did on what seemed like a harmless thread. Reddit's always had a shady, icky layer to me. There's also the mass, thoughtless consumerism that doesn't help things along.
I suppose lack of retro gaming discussion is simply because of amount of users, as the site grows I 100% expect it to be made and created. I've noticed a lot of comrades like Oblivion for some reason (I personally love modding it like one of those train sets models people spend years on). On emus a rom community perhaps?
And offline and on air gapped machines if they wished. In person and not only that in code as well hidden under other things, traditionally book clubs were used but that's a well known, anything with wide interpretation like the arts or even the occult are good ones and it doubles as a way to agripop too potentially or it could be just merely aesthetics to the unaware eye, also allows you to play very it straight as required and blend in.
You go way back to fighting the godly power of kings and people got real creative about dealing with it, we're dealing with a whole pantheon now. There are so many ways one could not even think of them all, they may have a near perfect panopticon but processing the data is another matter anyhow. Read books about creativity and idea generation as well. There's good opsec guides around and on 6bear.
