@evacide fresh out of Meta, all services. It's so strange and unusual but now that I'm really distanced I can see how genuinely toxic it had become and the mess it was and had been for a long time contributing to my already fragile sense of well-being.

@evacide Honestly, you can reduce the lower end of the range. I'm 34, and I started joining internet communities at age 16 (IRC and a couple forums to start). This still describes my experience. My younger brother would probably say the same for about half of his life too.

@evacide this is good imo. Cultural permanence is fundamentally unsustainable and should not be idealized.

@evacide MetaFilter and Mastodon keep me grounded; they remind me of ‘the good old days’

@evacide Yep. Very much so.
The only durable stuff is the things that I built with a couple of old friends that we hid away.

@evacide not only that, some of the homes I made myself and crumbled due to my own neglect!

@evacide hahahaha, literally there's a whole group of us who met on a nerd comic forum in the late 90's to the 2000's and we're on like our 4th round of making new social accounts and linking back up to each other.
